No: A physician cannot tell that you have thyroid cancer by looking at the TSH level. The best way to evaluate for malignancy in a thyroid is to perform a fine needle biopsy.

Usually not: Most patient with thyroid cancer have perfectly normal thyroid function as determined by their blood levels/lab work.
