I have a 4x4 cm nodule in the left lobe of my thyroid and a smaller 1x1 cm nodule in the right lobe. My T3, T4, and TSH levels are normal, but the FNAC showed papillary clusters with chewing gum colloid and no nuclear grooves. The report suggests an excision biopsy to rule out papillary carcinoma. Could this be cancer or is it likely benign? Is surgery the only option or are there other treatments I should consider?

Once the biopsy report is confirmed whether it is beningn or malignant ,diagnosis can be arrived.If cancerous thyroidectomy or hemithyroidectomy is advised based on the size and location of thevtumour in the thyroid.A sugeon opinion is advised.
