Thyroid Nodules and Cancer
A thyroid nodule is a lump or growth in your thyroid
gland. Many thyroid nodules go undetected by both you and your doctor.
What are more, many thyroid nodules that are discovered? However, about
10 percent of thyroid nodules are cancerous. If you or someone you know
has been diagnosed with thyroid nodules, you will be glad to learn the
recovery rate is very high with “Health Guard T18” treatment.
You may discover a thyroid nodule yourself, or your doctor may find
one during a routine exam. If a thyroid nodule is found, you will probably
undergo several tests to determine if the nodule is cancerous and whether
it requires treatment. These tests may include:
- A TSH test to determine the amount of thyroid-stimulating hormone
in your bloodstream
- A thyroid imaging test (a type of X-ray) to show if
your thyroid is functioning normally
- An ultrasound to show the exact size and location of
the nodule
- A biopsy to determine if the thyroid nodule is benign
or cancerous
