What Does My Thyroid Biopsy Report Indicate?

Posted on Wed, 30 Aug 2017

Question: I had a thyroid biopsy today. it's over and done with and I won't get results until next week. I had a nodule which was a little bigger than 1.5 cm., but not much. my question is that I had a couple of cigarettes about 4 hours before and a few when I came home. I am in hopes that this will not cause any problems.

Hello, and thanks for your question.

Cigarette use is extremely unhealthy but should not affect the results of this biopsy specifically.
