Thyroid Cancer

It is a type of cancer that occurs in the cells of the thyroid. The thyroid produces the necessary hormones that regulate heart rate, body temperature, blood pressure, and weight. There is a possibility of zero symptoms of Thyroid cancer. It can cause pain and swelling in the neck as it grows. Some of them grow slowly while some are quite aggressive. Most thyroid cancer cases can be cured. Comparative growth in thyroid cancer is seen in the past few years. Doctors feel it is due to new technology that is allowing them to find small thyroid cancers.

Symptoms

Thyroid cancer does not show any signs or symptoms in the early stages. As it grows you may notice: · Pain in your neck and throat

  • Swollen lymph nodes in your neck
  • A mass through the skin on your neck
  • Changes in voice
  • Difficulty swallowing

Types of Thyroid Cancer

  1. Papillary Thyroid Cancer - This arises from follicular cells that produce and store thyroid hormones.
  2. Follicular Thyroid Cancer - Follicular thyroid cancer also begins from follicular cells and tends to affect people who are older than age 50.
  3. Anaplastic Thyroid Cancer - it is a rare kind of thyroid cancer that begins within the follicular cells, grows rapidly, and is extremely difficult to treat.
  4. Medullary Thyroid Cancer - It begins with thyroid cells called C cells that produce calcitonin.
  5. Other Rare Types - Other very rare types of cancer are thyroid lymphoma that begins in the immune system cells of the thyroid, and thyroid sarcoma that begins in the connective tissue cells of the thyroid.

The treatment may not be needed right away but it requires frequent monitoring of cancer. Most of the people have to undergo surgery that includes:

Surgery

  • Removing all or most of the thyroid
  • Removing a portion of the thyroid
  • Removing lymph nodes in the neck
