Thyroid cancer
Thyroid cancer appears to be increasing in frequency and is almost always treated successfully (95% can be cured). The most common sign of thyroid cancer is the development of a lump in or on the thyroid gland or swelling of the gland. Other symptoms suggesting thyroid cancer include hoarseness of the voice, difficulty swallowing and swelling of the lymph glands in the neck.
Treatments for thyroid cancer include surgery to remove the gland followed by radioactive iodine
therapy and lifelong thyroxine replacement therapy.
