Thyroid Cancer
Symptoms include a lump in the neck, pain in the jaw, neck, or ear, and difficulty swallowing or breathing.
Women are affected more than men. The risk is higher for Asian/Pacific Islanders.
The treatments for Thyroid cancer are usually very successful. Of all the people who had Grade 1 Thyroid cancer, 99.6% survived. Grade 3 - 72.8% survived. Grade 4 - 16.9% survived.
Surgical removal of the thyroid gland will remove the cancer.
It occurs in the thyroid glands in your neck and less than 1% of thyroid nodules are malignant.
Out of the 37,200 new cases diagnosed in the U.S. this year, 1,630 died.
