Nodes on the thyroid gland are very common. In the vast majority, thyroid nodules are benign. This is also confirmed by the results of a recent long-term German study, according to which the percentage of nodules that develop into carcinomas is lower than indicated in guidelines. In practice, it is therefore important to avoid over-diagnosis and over-therapy, but on the other hand also to recognize a possible cancer.
