A member asked:

Hypodense nodule in right thyroid bed. 11mm x 9mm significance is unknown. nonspecific lymph nodes. what are chances this could be cancerous?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Low but get checked: The odds are low that this is a cancer. Less than 10%. But you should get it evaluated. The best way is to see an Endocrinologist who 1. understands the issues, and 2. does U/S guided thyroid biopsies.
