A member asked:
What percentage of heterogeneous, complex peripherally vascular thyroid nodules are cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends: Thyroid nodules are mostly ( 80-90%) benign . But it depends on their size and rate of change(growth in their size). A repeat Ultrasound study of your Thyroid should be done(I am sure your doctor must have advised you to do so)) in 6 to 12 months time to reassess for any growth in the nodules in your Thyroid.
