Symptoms of Thyroid Cancer
Thyroid cancer may not cause any noticeable symptoms in the early stages. However, as the cancer grows, it can cause a variety of symptoms, including:
A lump or swelling in the neck: The most common symptom of thyroid cancer is a lump or nodule in the neck that can be felt by the patient or their healthcare provider.
Hoarseness or difficulty speaking: Thyroid cancer can affect the nerves that control the vocal cords, causing hoarseness or difficulty speaking.
Difficulty swallowing: As the tumor grows, it can put pressure on the esophagus and make it difficult to swallow.
Pain in the neck or throat: Some patients with thyroid cancer may experience pain in the neck or throat.
Swollen lymph nodes: Thyroid cancer can cause nearby lymph nodes to swell.
Changes in voice quality: The voice may become deeper or raspy.
Difficulty breathing: In rare cases, large thyroid tumors can obstruct the airways, making it difficult to breathe.
It's important to note that these symptoms can also be caused by other conditions, so it's important to see a healthcare provider if you are experiencing any of these symptoms. A healthcare provider can perform a physical examination and order diagnostic tests to determine the underlying cause of the symptoms.
