"growths" on cords: Vocal nodules are lesions that can affect the true vocal cords.  Nodules usually present as hoarseness or a change in your voice.  They tend to be non-cancerous in nature but cancer is always a concern when ents look at your vocal cords and see "growths.".

is a 9mm nodule worst than 1.2 cm nodule?

Depends: A 9 mm nodule is a lot smaller than a 1.2 cm. nodule.  But it depends on what is causing the nodule and where it is.
