A member asked:
What are the chances of a small bump attached to my wind being thyroid cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on where: Very few bumps on your neck end up being thyroid cancer and far more are enlarged lymph nodes. But it really depends on exactly where in the neck this bump is located and a doctor can examine it and tell you if the bump is located within the thyroid gland and if there is any reason to be concerned
