What is Thyroid Cancer?

Thyroid cancer begins in the thyroid, the small, butterfly-shaped gland at the base of your neck. This gland regulates your body’s metabolism, heart rate, and body temperature. When its cells turn cancerous, they can grow silently and spread, often without early symptoms.

    Through ultrasound, fine-needle aspiration biopsy, thyroid blood tests, and imaging scans like CT or MRI.
