Does calcifaction of tyhroid node mean cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Thyroid nodules with calcifications need to be fully evaluated, but just because they have calcifications, doesn't mean that they are cancerous. Don't delay, get evaluated. See your primary doctor or an endocrinologist.
