What Patients Say About Cancer Treatment at New Hope
What is Follicular Thyroid Cancer?
Thriving — not just surviving — begins with knowing vital information about your disease and its treatment options.
Follicular thyroid cancer is the second most common type of thyroid cancer, accounting for 15 percent of all thyroid cancer diagnoses. This malignant disease is considered more aggressive than other types of thyroid cancers. However, the overall cure rate is about 95 percent for small lesions that receive immediate and appropriate treatment.
As specialists in thyroid malignancies, our cancer care team at New Hope Unlimited has a high level of expertise in making a significant difference in your outcome.
Characteristics of Follicular Thyroid Cancer
- Follicular thyroid cancer is common between ages 40 and 60 years old.
- This cancer is more prevalent among females than males by a 3:1 ratio.
- This malignant disorder is rarely associated with exposure to radiation.
- Invasion of lymph nodes is uncommon.
- Distant spread or metastasis (to lungs or bones) is uncommon.
- Cancer that spreads to vascular structures (veins and arteries) is common.
Signs of Follicular Thyroid Cancer
Our combination of conventional and holistic cancer treatments aim to reverse the symptoms of follicular thyroid cancer, including:
- A lump in the neck
- Changes in voice quality
- Difficulty breathing
- Trouble swallowing
- Tenderness or pain in or around the neck or ear
What Caused Your Cancer?
What causes the mutation that leads to follicular thyroid cancer remains unknown. However, certain risk factors may increase a person’s chance of developing the disease. These include:
- Advancing age
- A family history of thyroid cancers
- Exposure to low or moderate-dose x-ray treatments used before 1950 to treat children with tonsillitis, acne, and other head and neck problems
How Doctors Diagnose Follicular Thyroid Cancer
Since an early diagnosis leads to improved follicular thyroid cancer prognosis, a diagnostician will order a series of tests and procedures, including:
- Medical and physical exam
- Blood laboratory studies
- Laryngoscopy (looking at the voice box)
- Surgical excision of the thyroid nodule with microscopic analysis
In almost all cases, the doctor will also recommend undergoing imaging tests to examine the area of concern. These imaging studies may include:
- Ultrasounds
- Computerized tomography (CT) scans
- Positron emission tomography (PET) scans
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans
After receiving a confirmed follicular thyroid cancer diagnosis, the next most crucial step is to plan your treatment.

The term “well-differentiated” refers to three varieties of tumors: follicular, papillary, and hurthle cell thyroid cancers. Well-differentiated cancer cells resemble normal cells under a microscope and tend to grow and spread slowly compared to undifferentiated or poorly differentiated cancer cells.
2. What specific treatments does New Hope Unlimited offer?
Among the treatments we provide is immune enhancement therapy, wherein we use different vitamins, minerals, botanicals, and other immunoreactive substances to restore the powerful immune system and fight off cancer cells.
