What is Thyroid Cancer?
Thyroid cancer occurs when abnormal cells in the thyroid gland begin to grow uncontrollably, forming a tumor. The thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland located at the base of the neck that regulates metabolism through hormone production. Most thyroid cancers grow slowly and are highly treatable, especially when detected early.
