A member asked:

Is it bad if the nodule is hypervascular?

Specializes in Interventional Radiology

It is a risk factor: A hypervascular thyroid nodule has an increased risk of being malignant. However, the vast majority of thyroid nodules are benign. If it's growing, or bigger than 1.5 cm, it should be biopsied.
