What Patients Say About Cancer Treatment at New Hope
What is Papillary Thyroid Cancer?
Living life to the fullest — not just surviving — starts with understanding vital information about your disease and its treatment options.
Papillary thyroid cancer, also known as papillary thyroid carcinoma, is the most common form of cancer that affects the thyroid — a butterfly-shaped gland that sits just below the voice box. Though the thyroid is only as small as a quarter, it has big responsibilities. It creates hormones that help regulate the body’s blood pressure, heart rate, temperature, and weight.
Without the appropriate treatment and guidance from cancer experts, even the indolent (slow-growing) papillary thyroid cancer can metastasize (spread) to lymph nodes of the neck. In rare cases, this malignant disease can spread to the lungs or bones.
What are the Signs of Papillary Thyroid Cancer?
Here at New Hope Unlimited, our treatment goals include reversing the following symptoms of papillary thyroid cancer:
- A lump in the neck that can be seen or felt
- A painful sensation in the neck and throat
- Swollen lymph nodes in the neck
- Increasing hoarseness of the voice
- Difficulty swallowing
- A persistent sore throat
- Breathing problems, especially when lying down
What Caused Your Thyroid Cancer?
Currently, scientists have not determined the cause of papillary thyroid cancer. However, there are several risk factors for the disease:
- Certain genetic conditions, such as:
- Cowden disease
- Gardner syndrome
- Familial adenomatous polyposis
- Multiple endocrine neoplasia
- A family history of papillary thyroid carcinoma
- Exposure to radiation therapy during childhood
How Do Doctors Confirm a Cancer Diagnosis?
To improve your papillary thyroid cancer prognosis or life expetancy, a diagnostician might use the following tests to produce an early and accurate diagnosis:
- Medical and physical exam
- Blood tests
- Ultrasound imaging
- Computed tomography (CT) scan
- Positron emission tomography (PET) scan
- Removing a sample of thyroid tissue (biopsy)
- Genetic testing
After receiving a papillary thyroid cancer diagnosis, the next most important step is to plan your treatment.
