Produktbeschreibung

The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland that is located in the front of the neck. Thyroid cancer is a condition in which the cells grow abnormally and can spread to other parts of the body. Swelling or a bump in the thyroid part of the neck is a common symptom of this medical condition. Thyroid cancers are known to be linked to a variety of genetic and environmental variables. Radiation exposure as a child, an enlarged thyroid, and a family history are all risk factors for thyroid cancer. Papillary thyroid cancer, follicular thyroid cancer, medullary thyroid cancer, and anaplastic thyroid cancer are the four primary types of thyroid cancer. Ultrasound and fine needle aspiration are used to diagnose this disease. Surgery, thyroid hormone therapy, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, alcohol ablation, targeted therapy, and palliative care are all possible treatment options. The topics covered in this book offer the readers new insights in the field of thyroid cancer research. It includes some of the vital pieces of work being conducted across the world, on various topics related to this disease. For all readers who are interested in the research on thyroid cancer, the case studies included in this book will serve as an excellent guide to develop a comprehensive understanding.
