A member asked:

If a radiologist wants me to do a biopsy of a solid nodule in my thyroid does this mean he saw something suspicious ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not necessarily: Not suspicious, just present. A solid nodule is much more likely to be something benign than a malignancy, but when you see one, it is important to biopsy it to rule out a cancer that is more treatable, the earlier you find it.
