Thyroid cancer occurs in the thyroid gland, which is part of the endocrine system. Hormones produced by your thyroid gland control metabolism, heart rate, and body temperature. Thyroid malignancies are treatable. Surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, hormone therapy, and radioiodine therapy are all forms of treatment. Cancer that begins in the thyroid gland is known as thyroid cancer. The thyroid is a tiny, butterfly-shaped gland that wraps around the windpipe in the front of the neck. Iodine from food is used by the thyroid gland to make hormones that regulate how your body uses energy. The majority of thyroid malignancies are curable
Thyroid nodules are prevalent, although they are not always cancerous. After a thyroid cancer diagnosis, tests are performed to see if cancer cells have moved to other parts of the body or within the thyroid. The thyroid is a gland located near the trachea at the base of the throat (windpipe). It has two lobes, one on the right and one on the left, and is structured like a butterfly. The isthmus, a tiny piece of tissue that joins the two lobes. A healthy thyroid gland would be around the size of a quarter. It is usually not noticeable through the skin
