What is Thyroid Cancer

Thyroid cancer is a malignancy of the thyroid gland, located in the neck, responsible for regulating metabolism. It is often highly treatable and has an excellent prognosis when detected early. The main types include Papillary, Follicular, Medullary, and Anaplastic, each varying in severity and progression. Risk factors include radiation exposure, genetic mutations, and being female. Symptoms such as a neck lump, voice changes, or difficulty swallowing warrant evaluation. Diagnosis involves imaging, biopsy, and blood tests. Treatment includes surgery, radioactive iodine, and hormone therapy, w
