About Thyroid Cancer

Thyroid cancer occurs in the cells of the thyroid gland at the base of the neck. The thyroid produces hormones that regulate the heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature and weight. Most thyroid cancers are differentiated cancers and develop from thyroid follicular cells. More than 80% of thyroid cancers are papillary adenocarcinomas and tend to grow very slowly and tend to spread to the lymph nodes but are rarely fatal. Follicular adenocarcinoma accounts for 10% of thyroid cancer but usually does not spread to the lymph nodes, but can spread to the bone, liver or lungs, the prognosis is still good.
