A member asked:
If your t4 is high..can you still get thyroid cancer?
7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
T4 and cancer: Thyroid cancer is entirely independent of thyroid function. High T4 is unrelated to cancer. In patients with thyroid cancer who have had thyroidectomy (removal of thyroid), thyroglobulin (but not t4) may be used as a serum marker of residual/recurrent disease.

Sure: If you have a thyroid, you can get thyroid cancer, even if high t4. Nodules are the issue, benign or malignant.
