What happens next depends on what the biopsy showed. But there are many reasons some take much longer to complete.
From what i have read and read and read most people have nodules i had 13 before i had my thyroid was removed.
How long to get biopsy results thyroid.
Results of the thyroid biopsy are given as one of six.
None of the results took more than four business days and the third one he even sent off to some special lab.
During a thyroid fine needle aspiration biopsy procedure your doctor takes a small sample of tissue from your thyroid gland to diagnose your thyroid problem.
Congrats on biopsy results.
What are the possible results.
It was papillary carcinoma and they took my whole thyroid out.
Ask your healthcare provider when you can expect to get your results back.
I am fine now.
It may take several days to get your test results from the pathology lab.
They are not always a problem however if you are feeling lousy and your gut tells you to i would ask for more tests or a 2nd opinion.
Generally it can take anywhere from a few days to two 2 weeks for the result to return.
Ask your doctor when you should find out.
Routine biopsy and cytology results may be ready as soon as 1or 2 days after the sample gets to the lab.
Not knowing when the results will be ready and not understanding why testing sometimes takes longer than expected can cause extra concern.
Better to be safe then sorry.
You can get your results in as fast as a few days though it could take up to 2 weeks.
Good luck and take care.
But this does not mean yours will be cancerous.
This procedure is usually done in a treatment room by your doctors.
So just wait for the results.
First two negative or in readable and next two positive.
If your thyroid nodule is not cancer you might not need any further treatment.
If your fna biopsy doesnt give you a good reliable answer if it cannot tell the difference between a benign thyroid nodule and a thyroid cancer you might need to take more invasive steps and even a biopsy during surgery to get a better sampling of cells from the thyroid nodule so the pathologist has more cells to examine under the microscope.
Fine needle biopsy of thyroid is usually completed in less than 30 minutes.
Lol so i think one week is even two long two weeks seems like worse case.
Fine needle aspiration biopsy of thyroid nodules procedure and interpretation of results how long does it take for the results to return.
With the one from two weeks ago that would make it my forth biopsy.
If they are not sure do get surgery to take them out and they will check yours too.
