Thyroid Cancer Diagnosis

(KUTV) Experts say more cases of thyroid cancer are being diagnosed in the United States.The first symptom is what is called a thyroid nodule. Generally when tests come back inconclusive, doctors have a tough choice to make.Six weeks after giving birth doctors discovered that Aimee Ferrell had a thyroid nodule, which can be a symptom of cancer. Results from a biopsy were inconclusive, traditionally at this stage doctors will perform surgery to remove the thyroid for further testing.Doctor Shahzad Ahmad is a physician at the Thyroid Institute of Utah, instead of performing surgery on patients who have inconclusive thyroid biopsy results, he orders a genome test. In Aimme's case the genome test showed no signs of cancer, she will be tested every 6 months just to make sure no cancerous cells are developing.Doctor Ahmad says about 15 to 30 percent of biopsy results for thyroid cancer come back inconclusive, if doctors perform surgery the patient will need to be on medication for the rest of his or her life.(Copyright 2013 Sinclair Broadcasting Group)
