Symptoms of thyroid cancer
Thyroid cancer is a malignant tumor that originates from the thyroid tissue. In the early stages, it may not show obvious symptoms, so it is often discovered accidentally during a physical examination or other examinations. However, as the tumor gradually grows or spreads, some symptoms may appear. These symptoms vary depending on the type and stage of the tumor and each person's specific situation. The following are some symptoms that may be related to thyroid cancer. I hope this information can help you better understand and pay attention to your health:
Thyroid lumps or enlargement: Some thyroid cancers may cause palpable lumps or enlargements in the neck.
Throat discomfort or pressure: The tumor may cause pressure on the throat, resulting in throat discomfort or hoarseness of the voice.
Throat pain: Some people with thyroid cancer may experience throat pain or discomfort.
Difficulty swallowing: Sometimes, larger tumors or tumors located close to the esophagus may make it difficult to swallow food.
Enlarged lymph nodes in the neck: Some thyroid cancers may cause enlarged lymph nodes in the neck.
Neck discomfort: Tumors may cause neck discomfort, tension, or pain.
Voice changes: If the tumor affects the vocal cord nerves, it may cause the voice to become hoarse or deep.
Abnormal thyroid function: Some thyroid cancers may affect the function of the thyroid gland, causing increased or decreased thyroid hormone levels and related symptoms such as weight changes and heart rate changes. It should be noted that these symptoms do not necessarily indicate thyroid cancer, as similar symptoms may also be related to other thyroid problems or non-cancer diseases.
