Thyroid gland enlargement
Hi sir, My dad has recently (4 days back) found some swelling at left side of neck. In Fnac report it's mentioned as Thyroid gland enlargement. I've attached CT scan and Fnac report. Can you please make us understand what his situation is? Is this Thyroid cancer? What kind of treatment needed? Will he be fine by undergoing only surgery for removal of thyroid glands? Are there any side effects ? Does he need any therapy after surgery? Thanks

As per reports it looks like malignancy. The treatment would involve total thyroidectomy followed by radioiodine therapy. In the CT scan they have mentioned a lung lesion. We need to see what that is! We need to investigate whether it is related to thyroid or not. In any case the treatment for thyroid remains the same.
