Thyroid Cancer
Thyroid cancer occurs when abnormal cells grow in the thyroid gland, potentially leading to a lump, hoarseness, or difficulty swallowing. Diagnosis typically involves imaging and biopsy. Treatment varies from surgery to radioactive iodine therapy. Early detection of thyroid cancer significantly improves prognosis and survival rates. Monitoring and follow-up care are critical.
