Hello Dr. XXXXXXXX. I have a question concerning Papillary Carcinoma of Thryoid. My brother, aged 29 years recently undergone a FNAC (R) Lobe Thryoid during which a Papillary Carcinoma of Thyroid was concluded. He was referred to an oncologist for radiation treatment. I was looking for a second opinion if possible, please.
HI, Welcome to HCM, I am Dr. Das.
FIrstly, FNAC is a just tool which gives us a rough idea which should be kept in mind during diagnosing a disease. But, The diagnosis which is given in FNAC, must be confirmed in biopsy done from that area. And in case of thyroid, one problem is presence of different disease in different parts of one thyroid tissue .
So, first consult with a general surgeon who will go for removal of thyroid and then wit for the biopsy report which will confirm the disease and then only treatment should be started.
No treatment should be given ony on the basis of a FNAC report.
Thats all.
