    malignant growth in thyroid gland cells

    Thyroid cancer, also known as thyroid carcinoma, is a type of cancer that originates in the thyroid gland, a butterfly-shaped gland located at the base of the neck. It can present in several forms, including papillary, follicular, medullary, and anaplastic, each varying in aggressiveness and treatment approaches. Early detection often leads to effective treatment, typically involving surgery, radioactive iodine, and sometimes thyroid hormone therapy.
