The Thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland that found in the lower front part of the neck. It is responsible for carrying blood to every tissue that presents in our body. It helps to regulate the body's metabolism.
The thyroid sometimes starts producing too many hormones which lead to other problems like swelling and growth of cysts or nodules. In such cases, Thyroid Surgery is recommended.

When cells in our thyroid undergo genetic changes, then thyroid cancer occurs. Such changes allow the cells to grow and multiply rapidly and lose their ability to die. The abnormal cells of thyroid form a tumor and invade nearby tissue and can spread throughout the body.
