Early detection plays a key role in successful thyroid cancer treatment. Watch out for the following symptoms:

• A lump or swelling in the neck
• Changes in voice, including hoarseness
• Difficulty swallowing
• Persistent cough not related to a cold
• Neck pain or discomfort

If you notice any of these symptoms, consult a specialist promptly—early diagnosis can significantly improve treatment outcomes.

Our comprehensive diagnostic approach ensures an accurate understanding of your condition:

1. Clinical Assessment – Detailed physical examination and medical history review
2. Fine-Needle Aspiration (FNA) Biopsy – To confirm the presence of cancer cells
3. Imaging Tests – Ultrasound, CT, or MRI scans to assess tumour size and spread
4. Multidisciplinary Review – Collaboration with endocrinologists, oncologists, and radiologists to create a personalised plan

1. Surgery

• Total Thyroidectomy – Complete removal of the thyroid gland for advanced cases
• Lymph Node Dissection – Removal of affected lymph nodes in the neck
• Minimally Invasive Techniques – Smaller incisions, reduced pain, and quicker recovery

2. Radioactive Iodine Therapy

Used to destroy any remaining thyroid tissue or cancer cells post-surgery. This targeted therapy minimises damage to surrounding tissues.

3. Targeted Therapies & Chemotherapy

For aggressive or advanced cases, these treatments work at the molecular level to stop cancer growth.

4. Radiation Therapy

External beam radiation is recommended for specific cases where surgery is not an option or cancer has recurred.
