Can a malignant thyroid nodule grow quickly?
9 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: It depends on the type of thyroid cancer. Papillary, follcular, and medullary thyroid cancers are typically slow growing. Anaplastic thyroid cancer are very fast growing. Fortunately, this type of cancer is very rare.
