Thyroid Cancer in India

Overview

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
