Thyroid Nodules and Cancer: When to biopsy when to refer

Consultant Physician, Apollo Hospitals, KK Nagar, Madurai Tamil Nadu

Goitre is a common clinical finding in adult practice, often detected incidentally or presenting as a visible neck swelling. While many cases are benign, differentiating between physiological enlargement, iodine deficiency, autoimmune disease, and malignancy is crucial for appropriate management.

In this session on “Goitre in Adults: A Simple Clinical Approach,” the discussion will focus on a structured, stepwise approach to assessment. From clinical examination and thyroid function testing to the role of imaging and red flags for malignancy, clinicians will gain clarity on when to reassure, investigate, or refer. Designed for everyday practice, this session aims to simplify decision-making and help doctors confidently navigate one of the most frequently encountered endocrine presentations.
