Hi,
50% probability to have any disease is random chance. Appropriate tests either increase the probability of having a disease or rule that out.
To establish thyroid cancer, following tests are suggested by the primary Doctor :
1. ultrasound scan of thyroid
2. If features are suspicious then FNA/ tissue diagnosis
3. Thyroid function tests
