Can A 1 Mm Nodule Growth In The Left Thyroid Be Cancerous?
I am a 5 years in remission from Hodgkin s disease...They found a 6 mm nodule on my left thyroid that has grown 1 mm from 9/2012...I am going for a biopsy next week...what is the % chance that this is thyroid cancer...Hodgkin lymphoma again, or nothing?

Thanks for your question on HCM.
in my opinion it is nothing but a thyoid nodule only. As it is grown only 1 mm in more than 2 years.
And 1 mm change can be due to technical errors ,mostly in the reporting and interpretation. So this 1 mm variation can be due to radiologist error.
But better to rule out other things like thyroid malignancy or hodgkin lymphoma.
I think the biopsy will come only as benign lesion. So no need to worry. Get done biopsy.
