What Is The Significance Of Nodules On The Thyroid?
Size/volume should be monitored to rule out malignancy suspicion
Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome
I appreciate your concern
The main worry is to rule out malignancy with a presentation of thyroid nodules. FNA should be considered in nodules that have a size greater than 1 cm particularly in the presence of suspicious features present on ultrasound.
If the nodules or nodule are not increasing in size / volume over time then it is a good sign. Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA) should be opted for if the nodule has increased by more than 50% in terms of its volume during the period of these follow up ultrasounds, in consult with your doctor.
Wishing you best of health
Thanks
