Thyroid cancer originates in the thyroid gland, a butterfly-shaped organ located at the base of the neck. It plays a vital role in regulating metabolism and hormone production. Early diagnosis and specialized treatment are essential for effective management and favorable outcomes.
What is Thyroid Cancer?
Thyroid cancer develops when abnormal cells in the thyroid gland grow uncontrollably, forming tumors. There are several types, including papillary, follicular, medullary, and anaplastic thyroid cancer, each with different behaviors and treatment approaches.
Symptoms
- A lump or swelling in the neck that can be felt or seen
- Difficulty swallowing or breathing due to pressure on the esophagus or windpipe
- Hoarseness or changes in voice
- Persistent cough not related to a cold
- Swollen lymph nodes in the neck
Causes & Risk Factors
- Exposure to radiation, especially during childhood
- Family history of thyroid cancer or genetic syndromes
- Iodine deficiency or excess
- Certain inherited genetic mutations
- Female gender (more common in women)
Diagnosis
- Physical examination and medical history review
- Ultrasound imaging of the thyroid gland
- Fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) to collect cells for analysis
- Blood tests to measure thyroid hormone levels and tumor markers
- Advanced imaging (CT, MRI, PET) to check for spread in aggressive cases
Treatment Options
- Surgery:Removal of part or all of the thyroid gland depending on the cancer type and stage
- Radioactive Iodine Therapy: Targeted therapy to destroy remaining thyroid tissue or cancer cells after surgery
- Chemotherapy:Used mainly for aggressive or advanced thyroid cancers
- Targeted Therapy:Drugs focusing on specific mutations or growth pathways
- Hormone Therapy:Thyroid hormone replacement post-surgery to maintain metabolism and suppress cancer growth
Prognosis & Follow-up
Thyroid cancer generally has a favorable prognosis, especially when diagnosed early. Lifelong follow-up is important for monitoring recurrence, managing hormone levels, and overall health maintenance
