A member asked:
Which treatment do they do for a complex thyroid nodule?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends: An endocrinologist can help sort this out. Often they will do an ultrasound examination and a needle biopsy to find out if it is benign or cancerous. Once this is sorted out then the treatment is dependent on the cause...It may need to be removed surgically if they suspect the nodule to be cancerous.
