Thyroid nodules detected as a result of examination and neck ultrasound pose a risk for cancer. These nodules should be followed up. Nodules are seen more frequently in middle-aged women. Nodules can be detected in one out of every three women on average. When these nodules are not followed up, they can turn into cancer and spread throughout the body.
Most cancers are treated with removal of the thyroid gland (thyroidectomy), although small tumors that have not spread outside the thyroid gland may be treated by just removing the side of the thyroid containing the tumor (lobectomy). If lymph nodes are enlarged or show signs of cancer spread, they will be removed as well.
Most early thyroid cancers are found when patients see their doctors because of neck lumps or nodules they noticed. If you have symptoms such as a lump or swelling in your neck, you should see your doctor right away. Other thyroid cancers are found by health care professionals during a routine checkup. Early thyroid cancers are also sometimes found when people have imaging tests2,
