What does Thyroid Cancer look like on a Thyroid Scan?
-

- Thyroid Cancer typically appears as a "cold nodule".
That is to say, it appears as a white area or defect in an
otherwise black thyroid.
- A "cold" area is NOT necessarily
cancer. Indeed, most "cold nodules" are
benign!
- Ultrasound, perhaps followed by biopsy, often plays
an important role in differentiation.
