- Thyroid Nodule
An Introduction to Common Thyroid Disorders Thyroid nodules are very common. About 95% of nodules are benign (not cancer), and most do not require any treatment or surgery. [uofmhealth.org]
Cysts in the thyroid gland can also cause lumps or nodules. A small number of thyroid nodules are the result of thyroid cancer. Most thyroid nodules do not cause symptoms, and most do not produce thyroid hormone. [medicinenet.com]
According to the American Thyroid Association, about 50 percent if people over 60 years of age have a thyroid nodule. However, the vast majority of thyroid nodules are harmless. It is not clear why people develop thyroid nodules. [medicalnewstoday.com]
Ultrasound can help identify suspicious nodules since some ultrasound characteristics of thyroid nodules are more frequent in thyroid cancer than in noncancerous nodules. [thyroid.org]
