Is a 4.2x1.6x2.5cm heterogeneous complex nodule w/increased vascularity in midportion of the thyroid always cancer.?

Not always. Increased vascularity in a thyroid nodule doesn't always predict malignancy. I'm a firm believer in having the endocrinologist and an experienced head and neck surgeon collaborate in these cases in providing best advice and follow-up.
