Thyroid cancer occurs when the cells in a person’s thyroid goes through genetic changes .These genetic changes makes the thyroid cells to grow and increase rapidly.
There are about four to five different types of thyroid cancer, which includes; Papillary thyroid cancer, Anaplastic thyroid cancer, Follicular thyroid cancer, Medullary thyroid cancer and Thyroid lymphoma. they can be classified according to the microscopic examination of the thyroid tissues gotten from them through the use of a needle or surgery for biopsy. This is in order in order to study the manifestations and progress of the disease.
Thyroid cancer can be treated through surgical operations; which may either be thyroidectomy (Removing all or most of the thyroid), tracheostomy or Lobectomy. Other treatments for thyroid cancer are the use of Radioactive Iodine-131 and External irradiation.

Prevention:
The doctor may refer patients to doctors (oncologists) who specialize in treating cancer, or patients may ask for a referral. Specialists who treat thyroid cancer include surgeons, endocrinologists (some of whom are called thyroidologists because they specialize in thyroid diseases), medical oncologists, and radiation oncologists. Treatment generally begins within a few weeks after the diagnosis. There will be time for patients to talk with the doctor about treatment choices, get a second opinion, and learn more about thyroid cancer.
