This cancer is most common in people in their 30s and those over 60. Women are two to three times more likely to develop it than men. It’s usually treatable and in many can be cured completely, although it can sometimes return after treatment.
Symptoms of thyroid cancer include a painless lump or swelling in the front of the neck, especially if it’s firm, immobile and enlarging. Swollen neck glands, unexplained hoarseness or a sore throat that doesn’t improve, or difficulty swallowing can be symptoms too. Less common ones are diarrhoea or flushing.
See a GP if you have symptoms,
