A member asked:
I went fr a scan on my thyrroid and they found a 4cm nodule i am waiting to see someone for it but what is my chance of cancer?

Not mutch: Majority of thyroid nodules are benign, and majority of thyroid malignancies are curable due to early detection .Your doctor will do fna biopsy in the office , almost 90% of the nodules are benign. Good luck.
