A member asked:
Which type of risk am i taking by not having a thyroid lobectomy to diagnose a nodule?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Talk to doctor: Most thyroid nodules are benign. There are some features on an ultrasound that are more, or less, consistent with cancer. A needle biopsy may detect cancer cells. Balancing these, one has to make a decision to remove the nodule or watch it. This is best done with your endocrinologist and a good thyroid surgeon.
