| ==Key Biopsy Findings in Follicular Thyroid Cancer==
| |
| ===Fine Needle Aspiration Biopsy===
| |
| * The removal of thyroid tissue using a thin needle. The needle is inserted through the skin into the thyroid. Several tissue samples are removed from different parts of the thyroid. A pathologist views the tissue samples under a microscope to look for cancer cells. Because the type of thyroid cancer can be hard to diagnose, patients should ask to have biopsy sampleschecked by a pathologist who has experience diagnosing thyroid cancer.
| |
| ===Surgical Biopsy===
| |
| * The removal of the thyroid nodule or one lobe of the thyroid during surgery so the cells and tissues can be viewed under a microscope by a pathologist to check for signs of cancer. Because the type of thyroid cancer can be hard to diagnose, patients should ask to have biopsy samples checked by a pathologist who has experience diagnosing thyroid cancer.
