Thyroid Cancer in Young Adults
Symptoms of Thyroid Cancer

Thyroid cancer is one of the most common cancers in young adults, and it can often go unnoticed until it has spread. Knowing the warning signs to look for can help diagnose the condition and get the treatment needed.

Common symptoms of thyroid cancer in young adults include:

Lumps: A lump or swelling in the neck, near the collarbone or in the throat may be an indicator of thyroid cancer.

Hoarseness: If you experience persistent hoarseness, it may be a sign of an underlying problem with the thyroid.

Pain or discomfort: Pain or discomfort in the neck, throat, or jaw area could indicate thyroid cancer.

Swallowing difficulties: Difficulty swallowing or feeling as if food is stuck in the throat can be caused by thyroid cancer.

Coughing: A chronic cough that does not go away may be a symptom of thyroid cancer.

Voice Changes: Changes in voice pitch or sudden voice loss can indicate the presence of thyroid cancer.

If you experience any of these symptoms, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Early detection and treatment of thyroid cancer can help to improve the chances of a successful outcome.

A doctor may conduct a physical examination, order imaging tests such as an ultrasound or CT scan, and perform a biopsy to determine if the patient has thyroid cancer.

If thyroid cancer is diagnosed, the patient may require surgery to remove a portion of their thyroid, radiation therapy, and in some cases, chemotherapy to treat the cancer. With early diagnosis and treatment, most young adults with thyroid cancer can expect to make a full recovery.
