How Can A Malignant Tumor In The Thyroid Be Treated?

I am going for a biopsy of two nodules on my thyroid. My T3 and T4 levels are normal. I have no issues at the moment but it grew from 1.2cm to 1.5cm in 1 years time,and the Endocrinologist recommended a biopsy. What is the treatment if the test comes back showing a malignancy. My email is YYYY@YYYY . Thanks

General & Family Physician, Dr. Dr. Parth Goswami's Response

Hello,

We have to wait for the biopsy report before giving further comment. A biopsy will be sent for histopathology examination and will confirm the diagnosis. If it comes malignant than thyroid gland needs to be removed. Histopathology is a confirmatory report, so wait for it and will discuss further after that.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Parth Goswami
