    Treatment

    Verified Expert

    Treatment includes surgery to partially or completely remove the affected thyroid and nearby lymph nodes, medications and radiation therapies to kill cancer cells.

    Medication

    Thyroid hormone therapy: To retain normal levels of thyroid hormone.

    Levothyroxine

    Targeted drug therapy: Drugs that target specific components of cancer cells.

    Cabozantinib . Sorafenib

    Chemotherapy: Commonly used treatment. Usage of intravenous chemicals to kill the cancerous cells.

    Cabozantinib S-Malate . Caprelsa . Doxorubicin hydrochloride . Ipilimumab

    Diagnosis

    Verified Expert
    One or more of these tests may be recommended by your medical provider.
    Detailed medical history and physical examination is required for proper diagnosis.

    Common tests & procedures

    Thyroid function tests (TFTs): Blood tests to determine levels of thyroid hormones.

    Ultrasound: To check the size and number of nodules, determine if it is solid or fluid-filled; Also check if any nearby lymph nodes are enlarged.

    CT scan: To assess the spread of cancer to nearby and distant areas.

    Thyroid biopsy: A small sample of the thyroid tissue is sent for microscopic examination.

    Genetic test: To check for genes that increase your chances of thyroid cancer.

    What causes thyroid cancer?
    Thyroid cancer happens when cells in the thyroid develop changes in their DNA. A cell's DNA contains the instructions that tell the cell what to do. The changes, which doctors call mutations, tell the cells to grow and multiply rapidly. The cells go on living when healthy cells would naturally die. The accumulating cells form a mass called a tumor.

    Papillary thyroid cancer. This is the most common type of thyroid cancer. It can happen at any age, but it most often affects people ages 30 to 50. Most papillary thyroid cancers are small and respond well to treatment, even if the cancer cells spread to the lymph nodes in the neck.

    How do healthcare providers classify thyroid cancer?
    Healthcare providers classify thyroid cancer based on the type of cells from which the cancer grows. Types of thyroid cancer include: Papillary: Up to 80% of all thyroid cancers are papillary. This cancer type grows slowly. Although papillary thyroid cancer often spreads to lymph nodes in your neck, the disease responds very well to treatment.
