A thyroid nodule is a lump found in the thyroid gland. It is found very commonly, and most nodules are benign (not cancer). About 5% to 10% are diagnosed as thyroid cancer, so accurate testing and follow-up are important.2026-06-26

Thyroid cancer is a malignant tumor that develops in the thyroid gland, a butterfly-shaped endocrine organ at the front of the neck that secretes the thyroid hormones that regulate the body's metabolism. Thyroid nodules (lumps) are very common, and a portion of them are found to be cancer, so early detection through ultrasound and cytology is important. If you can feel a lump in your neck or have symptoms such as voice changes, please consult an ENT specialist.2026-06-26
