Thyroid Cancer

Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy

Thyroid cancer is an abnormal growth of cells in the thyroid gland, located in the front part of the neck, where it can form a nodule or lump.

Signs that may appear: A lump in the neck, changes in the voice, or discomfort when swallowing, although in the early stages it usually causes no symptoms.

When to see a doctor? When a nodule is noticed in the neck or changes that persist in that area.

Which specialist treats it? The endocrinologist and the oncologist, together with the surgeon, take part in its study and management; given a finding in the thyroid, the right thing is to put yourself in the hands of a professional for a detailed evaluation.
