<\/span>What is thyroid cancer?<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Thyroid cancer is a type of endocrine cancer that begins in the thyroid gland and actually means the abnormal and out-of-control growth of thyroid cells. Thyroid cancer can occur at any age and gender, and even cases of thyroid cancer in children have been reported. In general, this cancer is a very treatable disease and the treatment success rate is high. Thyroid surgery is one of the main treatments for thyroid cancer and if it is done at the right time and by an experienced doctor, it can completely eradicate thyroid cancer.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1718960325393{margin-top: 80px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 80px !important;padding-bottom: 40px !important;background-color: #f8f9fa !important;}” el_class=”ds-bg-row bg-top ds-sec-2″][vc_column]

<\/span>Types of thyroid cancer<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Health experts classify thyroid cancer based on the type of cells from which the cancer grows. Based on this, there are 4 types of thyroid cancer.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1718960372769{padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 70px !important;background-color: #f8f9fa !important;}” el_class=”ds-bg-row padding-2 bg-bottom ds-sec-2″][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1718957765206{padding-left: 15px !important;}”]

Papillary cancer:<\/div><\/span>

Up to 80% of all thyroid cancers are of the papillary type. This type of cancer progresses slowly. Although papillary thyroid cancer often spreads to the lymph nodes in the neck, the disease responds well to treatment. Papillary cancer is highly treatable and rarely leads to death.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Medullary carcinoma:<\/div><\/span>

About 2% of thyroid cancers are medullary type. A quarter of people with medullary thyroid cancer have a family history of this disease. A defective gene (genetic mutation) may be the cause of this cancer.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1718957759103{padding-right: 15px !important;}”]

Follicular cancer:<\/div><\/span>

Follicular thyroid cancer accounts for up to 15% of thyroid cancer diagnoses. This cancer is more likely to spread to the bones and organs such as the lungs. If follicular thyroid cancer spreads and turns into metastatic cancer, treatment will be much more difficult.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Anaplastic cancer:<\/div><\/span>

This aggressive thyroid cancer can progress quickly and often spreads to surrounding tissues and other parts of the body. Anaplastic thyroid cancer is much more difficult to treat than other types of thyroid cancer. The probability of this rare type of cancer is about 2%.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_class=”ds-alaem ds-icon-row” css=”.vc_custom_1718994053800{padding-top: 60px !important;padding-bottom: 40px !important;}”][vc_column width=”3\/4″]
