A 40-year-old woman presents with a thyroid nodule, 2.0 cm by 2.0 cm on palpation. The nodule, located on the right side of the gland, was found on routine physical examination. She has no history of childhood radiation exposure or family history of thyroid abnormalities. She reports no symptoms of nervousness, weight loss, palpitation, fatigue, or neck discomfort. Ultrasonography confirms a thyroid nodule, 2.0 cm by 2.0 cm by 2.5 cm (volume, 5.23 cm(3)), on the right side of the gland that does not have ultrasonographic characteristics associated with an increased risk of cancer; there is no cervical adenopathy. How should her case be managed?
