A member asked:
What are the chances of "cold" solid nodule being thyroid cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Thyroid nodule: Presumably "cold" means it did not take up radioiodine. Together, the chances of this being a cancer are quite low. There are many reasons for low uptake. Hashimotos can look like this. A multinodular goiter can have many hot/warm/cold areas. A cyst. How big is it? Small nodules (.
