-Priority is experience, not degree label -Choose centre with nuclear medicine ,oncology and endocrine support -Success depends more on surgeon experience than specialty name

Hello. For a diagnosis of Follicular Thyroid Carcinoma with Metastasis, the goal of surgery is not just to remove the thyroid, but to ensure all cancerous tissue and affected lymph nodes are cleared. ​My Recommendation: ​Surgical Oncologist: This is generally the preferred choice for metastatic cancer. They have specialized expertise in 'radical' clearances and managing the spread of the disease to other tissues. ​ENT (Head & Neck Specialist): You can also consult an ENT surgeon, provided they specialize specifically in Head & Neck Oncology. A general ENT who mostly does ear or sinus surgeries may not be the best fit for a metastatic case. ​Key Questions to ask your Surgeon: ​How many thyroidectomies for cancer do you perform annually? (Look for high-volume surgeons). ​Will a neck dissection be performed during the same surgery to remove metastatic lymph nodes? ​How do you plan to protect the voice box nerve (Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve) during the procedure? ​Next Steps: Since you are in Bangalore, you have access to some of the best oncology centers in India (such as HCG, Kidwai, or Mazumdar Shaw). I suggest getting a consultation with a Surgical Oncologist at one of these specialized centers for a comprehensive surgical plan.

Both specialists are qualified. It depends on whether you have a standard nodule or advanced cancer.

Good morning sir. ENT Surgoen or General surgeon can do thyroidectomy. If it’s non cancerous lesion, surgical oncologist is not required.
