Welcome to Healthcare Magic.. In toxic nodule of the thyroid the chance of cancer is less than 5 percentage.. However you still need to have half of your thyroid removed by surgery to cure you of your toxic thyroid condition.. And the pathology report provide the final diagnosis.. Hope this answered your query...
