Thyroid cancer occurs when cells grow abnormally in the thyroid gland (the small butterfly-shaped gland at the base of the neck). It is an important organ in the body that regulates metabolism, heart rate, body temperature and hormonal balance. Thyroid cancer is usually thought to be one of the easier cancers to treat, but early diagnosis and treatment are very important for the best results.

Thyroid cancers often develop slowly, and symptoms may not exist at their early stages. However, if left untreated, certain types can become aggressive and spread to nearby lymph nodes or outlying organs. Early diagnosis leads to quicker treatment, minimises complications, and increases the chance of survival.
