Thyroid Cancer
Book AppointmentThyroid cancer is a type of cancer that develops in the cells of the thyroid gland, a butterfly-shaped gland located at the base of the neck. The thyroid gland produces hormones that regulate metabolism, heart rate, and body temperature. Thyroid cancer is relatively rare and has a high treatment success rate when diagnosed early.
The main types of thyroid cancer include papillary, follicular, medullary, and anaplastic, with varying levels of aggressiveness. Risk factors for thyroid cancer include radiation exposure, a family history of thyroid disease, and certain genetic conditions.
