Consumer Health: Treating thyroid cancer

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, health

September is Thyroid Cancer Awareness Month, which makes this a good time to learn about treating thyroid cancer.

Nearly 44,000 new cases of thyroid cancer will be diagnosed in the U.S. this year, and more than 2,000 people will die of the disease, according to the American Cancer Society.

Thyroid cancer occurs in the cells of the thyroid, a butterfly-shaped gland at the base of your neck. Your thyroid produces hormones that regulate your heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature and weight.
