* What is Thyroid Cancer:

Health experts say that if the cells in the thyroid gland start growing faster than normal, then it is the beginning of cancer. In this, a tumor starts developing around the thyroid gland. In the last decade, cases of thyroid cancer in women have been increasing rapidly. Due to wrong eating habits, excessive consumption of alcohol, and lack of iodine in food, this disease is increasing rapidly. The initial symptoms of this disease are not easily detected, which is why most of the cases of this disease come to light only in the last stage. Thyroid function tests and biopsies are done to detect thyroid cancer. Apart from this, there are many other tests that depend on the condition of the patient.
