A member asked:
Does vascularity in a throid nodule meam cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily: Vascularity can be a sign of malignancy in a thyroid nodule but the vast majority of nodulea are still benign. Also, several benign conditions also lead to increased vascularity. A biopsy may be necessary to make sure or is benign.
