A member asked:
What are the chances a 4mm thyroid nodule with microcalcifications present is malignant? what are the cure and survival rates for a 29 y. o. male?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
High chance : The presence of microcalcifications is highly specific for malignancy and has important diagnostic value. If the nodule is indeed malignant and the only site of disease the cure rate and survival rate of thyroid cancer detected in early stage is very high.
