Thyroid Surgery
Thyroid Nodule
Thyroid nodules are extremely common, but only 5-10 percent are malignant. At his Bangalore practice, Dr. Adarsh follows a systematic evaluation pathway using ultrasound classification (TI-RADS), fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC), and molecular testing when indicated to determine whether a nodule requires surgery or can be safely monitored.
About Thyroid Nodule
Thyroid nodule evaluation and treatment follows a systematic approach starting with ultrasound assessment and FNAC (fine needle aspiration cytology). Dr. Adarsh manages thyroid nodules based on the Bethesda classification system, recommending observation for benign nodules, repeat FNAC for indeterminate results, and surgery for suspicious or malignant nodules.
