What Patients Say About Cancer Treatment at New Hope
What is Medullary Thyroid Cancer?
Thriving — not just surviving — begins with knowing vital information about your disease and treatment options.
Medullary thyroid cancer is a rare cancer of the thyroid — a butterfly-shaped gland located in front of the neck at the base of the throat. It accounts for 5 percent of all thyroid cancer cases. This malignant (cancerous) disease often advances from the thyroid into the lymph nodes, and it can metastasize (spread) into other neck tissues. If left undiagnosed or untreated, medullary carcinoma of the thyroid can reach the lungs, liver, bone, and brain.
What are the Signs of Medullary Thyroid Cancer?
Some of the most common symptoms of medullary thyroid cancer that New Hope Unlimited aims to reverse include:
- Voice hoarseness
- A lump in the front of the neck
- A painful sensation in the neck
- Persistent coughs
- Shortness of breath (dyspnea)
- Trouble swallowing (dysphagia)
In addition, more rare and unusual signs of medullary thyroid cancer include:
- Bone pain
- Severe diarrhea
- Lethargy or fatigue
- Cushing syndrome
- Unexplainable weight loss
- A red face, neck, or chest with warm or burning sensations
What Caused Your Cancer?
Currently, what causes medullary thyroid cancer to develop is unclear. The only identified risk factors are:
- Family history of medullary thyroid cancer
- Family history of multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN)
- Prior history of the following conditions or diseases:
- Pheochromocytoma
- Hyperparathyroidism
- Mucosal neuroma
- Pancreatic endocrine tumors
How Do Doctors Confirm a Cancer Diagnosis?
Early detection is your best chance at improving a medullary thyroid cancer prognosis. Thus, a specialist in thyroid malignancies might order these tests to produce accurate findings:
- Complete medical history and physical exam
- Blood laboratory studies
- Laryngoscopy
- Genetic testing for inherited mutation of ret gene
- A series of imaging tests to identify the extent of cancer:
- Computed tomography (CT) scan
- Positron emission tomography (PET) scan
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan
- Ultrasound of neck with fine-needle aspiration(FNA)
- Genetic counseling
After receiving a medullary thyroid cancer diagnosis, the next most important step is to plan your treatment.
