A member asked:
What's your opinion on doing a fna biopsy on a thyroid nodule that is "ill-defined" and "hypervascular" but only 6 mm?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Difficult fna: An fna of a 6mm nodule would be technically difficult but would easier under ultasound guidance. Talk with your doctor to determine the best course of action. It's probably safe to watch and rescan later.

Do it: I've seen plenty of cancers that are plenty smaller.
