Understanding Thyroid Cancer

Thyroid cancer is a disease that occurs when abnormal cells develop in the thyroid gland, a butterfly-shaped organ located at the base of the neck. While thyroid cancer is relatively uncommon, its incidence has been increasing in recent years. The good news is that most thyroid cancers are highly treatable, especially when caught early.

Types of Thyroid Cancer

At Felix Hospital, we treat all types of thyroid cancer, including:

• Papillary Thyroid Cancer: The most common type, accounting for about 80% of cases. It typically grows slowly and is highly treatable.

• Follicular Thyroid Cancer: The second most common type, making up about 10-15% of cases. It can be more aggressive than papillary cancer but is still generally treatable.

• Medullary Thyroid Cancer: A rarer form that develops in the C cells of the thyroid. It can run in families and may be associated with other endocrine disorders.

• Anaplastic Thyroid Cancer: The rarest and most aggressive form of thyroid cancer. It requires immediate and intensive treatment.

• Hurthle Cell Thyroid Cancer: A rare subtype of follicular thyroid cancer that may be more likely to spread to other parts of the body.

Symptoms and Risk Factors

Common symptoms of thyroid cancer may include:

• A lump or swelling in the neck

• Difficulty swallowing

• Voice changes or hoarseness

• Neck or throat pain

• Swollen lymph nodes in the neck
   

Risk factors for thyroid Cancer include:

• Exposure to high levels of radiation

• Family history of thyroid cancer or thyroid disease

• Certain genetic conditions

• Being female (thyroid cancer is more common in women)

• Age (it can occur at any age but is most common after age 30)

Personalized Treatment Plans

We develop individualized treatment plans based on the type and stage of your thyroid cancer, as well as your overall health and personal preferences. Treatment options may include:

a) Surgery
The primary treatment for most thyroid cancers is surgical removal of the thyroid gland (thyroidectomy). Our experienced surgeons use advanced techniques to minimize scarring and preserve important structures in the neck.

b) Radioactive Iodine Therapy
After surgery, radioactive iodine therapy may be used to destroy any remaining thyroid tissue or cancer cells that have spread to other parts of the body.

c) Thyroid Hormone Therapy
Following thyroidectomy, you'll need to take thyroid hormone replacement medication. This not only replaces the hormones your body needs but can also help suppress the growth of any remaining cancer cells.

d) External Beam Radiation Therapy
In some cases, external beam radiation may be used to target cancer cells that have spread beyond the thyroid.

e) Chemotherapy
While less common in thyroid cancer treatment, chemotherapy may be used for advanced or aggressive forms of the disease.

f) Targeted Drug Therapy
For certain types of thyroid cancer, targeted therapies that attack specific mutations in cancer cells may be recommended.
