![Nodules are more likely to be malignant in women or in people younger than 14 years or older than 70 years.1 A detailed history and physical examination can identify other factors that increase the risk of thyroid cancer. These include radiation exposure from treatment or fallout during childhood or adolescence, thyroid cancer/thyroid cancer syndrome in a first-degree relative, a personal history of thyroid cancer, or prior positive nodules on [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (18FDG-PET).1,2 Physical findings suggestive of malignancy include pain, dysphagia, vocal cord paralysis, significant voice changes, hoarseness, coughing, rapid nodule growth, cervical lymphadenopathy, and fixation of the nodule to surrounding tissue.2 Evidence does not support routine thyroid cancer screening.2 People with a family history of familial follicular cell-derived DTC may have an increased risk for this disease, but no evidence shows screening would improve patient outcomes.2](https://y7x1k1ddrq01n4myx1cg6ynv-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2018/12/slide2ts53762598411_1151398.jpg)
