Thyroid Cancer (Papillary, Follicular, Medullary & Anaplastic) | Symptoms, Diagnosis, Staging, Treatment

Thyroid cancer (thyroid carcinoma) is cancer of the thyroid gland, an endocrine gland involved in producing thyroid hormones such as T3 and T4. Thyroid cancer accounts for approximately 1% of all cancers, and several factors increase the risk of thyroid cancer including head and neck radiation therapy, family history, and female biological sex. There are 4 main types of thyroid cancer, including Papillary, Follicular, Medullary & Anaplastic carcinoma, each having different ages of onset, risk factors and signs and symptoms. In this lesson, we discuss the pathophysiology, signs and symptoms, diagnosis, staging and treatment of different types of thyroid cancer.

Thank you for this. I was recently diagnosed with Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma December 2021 and there is very little videos regarding thyroid cancer that aren't older than 5years.

When I was 42 was told I had an under active thyroid, I went to hospital and had to drink some liquid with scull and bones on the glass and I could not go near anyone for 2days, so I am assuming this was some kind of radiation, I was not given any closes, I am now 65years and I have been taking levothyroxine since that day and have 6 moths blood test, no one as told me what did happen and what and why still don't know till this day I would like to know what made me have an under active thyroid, it still affects me to day tired run down, depressed, no get up and go, also making me anemia..

Can you educate us on long-term use of thyroid medications and kidney cancer. I have two sibs that have been on thyroid meds long-term and both have been diagnosed with kidney cancer that has metastasized to their spine.

I have nodules …on thyroid, , left kidney and ovaries. I had breast cancer w/o metasis in 2013 that was successfully treated and eliminated. I had a needle biopsy of the thyroid nodule, , non cancerous and told they weren’t unusual and didn’t turn cancerous. Had cysts on ovaries, one side ruptured about 45 years ago but was not cancerous. Nodules on left side can still cause pains now and then. Also have familial IBS, , gastritis and some diverticulitis. But my oncologist just released me to one year check ups from Feb. 2022. Surely his pre exam labs would have shown cancers anywhere else in the body.?? Oh, , I’m also hypothyroid and take a very low dose of 88 mcg. Daily. However, mthat thyroid seems to cause problems in that my BP can go up and down and has shown a tendency towards hyperthyroid from time to time. No Dr. I have seems concerned nor interested in finding the exact causes of blood pressure numbers going up and down so radically which will cause me prolonged periods of weakness, lack of energy and internal shakes that last for days and months..because..all my ‘numbers’ appear good to them. I always had low blood pressure as a youth and was anemic but never lacked energy nor strength, now when my BP gets into a charted normal area, , they think it’s ok but to me .it’s high. Is there any cause in that mess to make the shakes and weakness to continue and why. They may..mysteriously stop around 6 p.m. every day?? I also have had a recent diagnosis of severe anxiety (from griefs) with possible heart involvement. I am now mid 80’s and when not in the throes of those weak spells, , I have a goodly amount of energy and stamina
