A member asked:
Does a solid 1.1 cm thyroid nodule need to be biopsy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Solid nodules carry the risk of being thyroid cancer (although certainly most solid thyroid nodules are not cancer). Because of the risk, you should have a biopsy done (most can be done using a very thin needle while an ultrasound is being done).
