Thyroid cancer is one of the most treatable and curable forms of cancer.
Dr. Bill Lydiatt, a surgical oncologist and thyroid cancer survivor, explains the symptoms, treatment and why it's important to catch thyroid cancer early.
The first sign of a cancer in the thyroid gland is a painless lump in the neck.
However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. Other symptoms may include:
* hoarseness or loss of voice as the cancer presses on the nerves to the voice box
* difficulty swallowing as the cancer presses on the throat

@NebraskaMedCenter It also seems to be attached to the muscle, it seems to flow in with the other parts of the neck very well.

I’ve been watching many of the thyroid cancer KZfaq clips since my diagnosis of papillary thyroid cancer on January 17th. I am scheduled for a total thyroidectomy on February 24th. The clips have been very helpful but there is virtually no information about males and thyroid cancer except to say that men rarely get the disease. I did listen to one clip in which the doctor stated that it tends to be more aggressive in men, older folks and African-Americans. I fit that category since I’m a 60 year old Black man and this has me concerned.

My granddad overcame thyroid cancer a few months back, but they caught it too late. Now, he has to talk through a hole in his throat. It's funny, because his cousin, my grand-uncle, also had thyroid cancer, except his was caught early because his job t the time mandated monthly check-ups.

I had a thyroidectomy in 2009 for papilary, falicular(sic) and medulary. My mother's sister had thyoid cancer. I also had I-131 treatment.(correct number?). Anyway, I am 47 and know that you can go through menopause early, but I have had hot flashes, and problems swallowing (with the last three months). Could it have come back? I had a total thyroidectomy...

I've noticed two lumps on the back of my neck, one on the left and one on the right, they are both at about the same position but the left one feels a little bigger. My doctor tested my blood and other stuff but no red flags came up. I don't have any discomfort or pain. The lump feels soft and I can kind of feel the small ridges from the muscle. I can't move it around. What could it be?

Hi, Great video... Thanks for sharing your point of view. Thyroid cancer very risky. Thyroid cancer starts in the thyroid gland. To understand thyroid cancer, it helps to know about the normal structure and function of the thyroid gland. For more information: thyroidnation.com/
