Thyroid Cancer - The Nebraska Medical Center

Thyroid cancer is one of the most treatable and curable forms of cancer.
Dr. Bill Lydiatt, a surgical oncologist and thyroid cancer survivor, explains the symptoms, treatment and why it's important to catch thyroid cancer early.
The first sign of a cancer in the thyroid gland is a painless lump in the neck.
However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. Other symptoms may include:
* hoarseness or loss of voice as the cancer presses on the nerves to the voice box
* difficulty swallowing as the cancer presses on the throat
