    If the Goitre has graduated to thyroid cancer, then it has to be surgically removed which is then followed by radioactive iodine treatment. Thyroidectomy refers to the surgical removal of the thyroid. Thyroidectomy relieves the compression of the nearby structures because of the enlarged gland, thereby improving symptoms relating to difficulty in swallowing, cough or shortness of breath.
