My doctor said i have a small lesion on my thyroid. does that mean cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily. : Thyroid lesions can be benign or cancerous. It takes further testing to tell what kind of lesion you have. An ultrasound, thyroid uptake scan or even a biopsy can help determine what's going on.
