Thyroid Cancer
Thyroid Cancer
Consultation and surgical services for thyroid cancer.
Thyroid cancer is a disease in which abnormal cells grow in the thyroid gland—a small, butterfly-shaped organ in the front of the neck responsible for producing hormones that regulate metabolism, heart rate, and body temperature.
What is Thyroid Cancer?
Thyroid cancer occurs when cells in the thyroid mutate and begin to grow uncontrollably, forming a tumor. It is one of the more treatable types of cancer, especially when detected early.
Common Types of Thyroid Cancer
Papillary thyroid cancer: The most common type, slow-growing and highly treatable
Follicular thyroid cancer: Less common but can spread to other organs
Medullary thyroid cancer: Linked to genetic mutations and family history
Anaplastic thyroid cancer: Rare but aggressive and fast-growing
Symptoms of Thyroid Cancer
Lump or swelling in the neck
Hoarseness or voice changes
Difficulty swallowing
Persistent throat or neck pain
Swollen lymph nodes
Causes and Risk Factors
Exposure to radiation, especially in childhood
Family history of thyroid cancer
Genetic conditions
Female gender (higher risk than males)
Diagnosis
Doctors use several methods to diagnose thyroid cancer, including:
Physical examination
Ultrasound imaging
Fine needle aspiration biopsy
Blood tests
Treatment Options
Treatment depends on the type and stage of cancer:
Surgery (removal of part or all of the thyroid)
Radioactive iodine therapy
Thyroid hormone therapy
Radiation therapy or chemotherapy (in advanced cases)
Prognosis and Survival Rate
Most thyroid cancers, particularly papillary and follicular types, have a high survival rate. Early detection significantly improves outcomes.
