PRAMITA friends, if you notice a rapidly growing lump in your neck or experience breathing difficulties, don’t ignore it. Consult a doctor promptly for a thorough evaluation.

The examination begins with anamnesis and physical assessment of the neck, including checks for enlarged lymph nodes. Blood tests, including thyroid hormones and thyroglobulin levels, play a vital role in monitoring post-treatment conditions. Calcitonin tests are crucial for detecting medullary thyroid cancer and tracking recurrence.

FNAB biopsy is a simple and effective procedure for identifying cancerous cells in thyroid nodules. Neck ultrasounds help distinguish solid nodules from fluid-filled ones and assess lymph node involvement, while CT scans provide insight into the cancer’s spread.

Early detection is the key to preventing serious complications of thyroid cancer. Don’t delay your check-up!
