What Is Thyroid Cancer?
Thyroid Cancer originates from the thyroid gland. This is a small gland just below your voice box and can affect everything from how awake you can feel, to the speed of your heartbeat.
The number of thyroid cancer diagnoses in the UK is about 2,300 every year and is more common in women (especially between the age of 35 and 39) than it is with men.
There are a number of causes for someone getting thyroid cancer. These include: inherited faulty genes, weight, exposure to radiation and benign thyroid disease. The latter accounts for 20% of all thyroid cancer diagnoses.
Signs that a person could have thyroid cancer can include: a hoarse voice that doesn’t shift, difficulty breathing or swallowing and a painless lump in the neck that gets visibly bigger over time.
