This is how dangerous thyroid nodules are: there is a risk of atrial fibrillation and osteoporosis. Nuclear medicine specialist Prof.

Detlef Moka recommends a thyroid check from the age of 65. To treat hot nodules, which are almost always benign, medication, especially radioiodine therapy or surgery, can sometimes be considered. In addition, so-called minimally invasive procedures are available for benign nodules. These include radiofrequency ablation, microwave ablation or laser ablation.
