THYROID DISEASE TREATMENT
The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland in your neck that produces hormones that control metabolism. Thyroid diseases occur when the gland is underactive, overactive, nodular, or cancerous.
- Hyperthyroidism: Medication, radioactive iodine, or surgery for hormone overproduction (Graves' disease, toxic nodule).
- Hypothyroidism: Balance your energy and metabolism with hormone replacement therapy.
- Thyroid Nodules: Follow-up for benign nodules, biopsy for suspicious nodules and surgery if necessary.
- Thyroid Cancer: Total thyroidectomy, lymph node removal, and radioactive iodine therapy.
WHAT IS THYROID CANCER?
Thyroid cancer is a disease caused by the uncontrolled proliferation of cells in the thyroid gland, located in the front of the neck. It usually progresses slowly and can be completely cured if diagnosed at an early stage.
- Papillary Cancer: It is the most common type, grows slowly, and has a high treatment success rate.
- Follicular Cancer: It is less common and can spread through the lymph or blood.
- Medullary Cancer: It may be genetically transmitted and affects hormone levels.
- Anaplastic Cancer: It is very rare but aggressive.
