A member asked:

Does 4.5cm thyroid nodule require surgery?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It may: But the first step for a solid nodule of this size is usually fine needle biopsy. If the nodule is benign surgery may still be needed if the nodule causes problems with swallowing or other symptoms.
