Medical Conditions - Thyroid Cancer

The thyroid is a bilobed endocrine gland situated in the neck region and is butterfly-shaped. It regulates the body's metabolism. Any mutation or change in thyroid cells leads to thyroid cancer. The cells replicate at a faster rate. Symptoms of thyroid cancer include a lump or swelling in the neck region, hoarseness of voice, throat pain, dysphagia, etc. There are four types papillary, follicular, medullary, and anaplastic. Papillary is the most common type of thyroid cancer. Iodine deficiency, radiation exposure, genetic inheritance, etc., are some of the factors attributed to their etiology. These are very much treatable.
