nodules of thyroid can be cold ,warm and hot.
85% are cold, 10% are warm and 5% are hot.

85% of cold nodules are benign, 90%of warm and 95% of hot are benign...so cold nodules are more likely to be cancerous.

hot means...taking dye more than the surroundings
cold means...taking less
warm means taking equal dye as surroundings
