Thyroid cancer is one of the most treatable and curable forms of cancer. Dr. Bill Lydiatt, a surgical oncologist and thyroid cancer survivor, explains the symptoms, treatment and why it’s important to catch thyroid cancer early. The first sign of a cancer in the thyroid gland is a painless lump in the neck. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. Other symptoms may include: * hoarseness or loss of voice as the cancer presses on the nerves to the voice box * difficulty swallowing as the cancer presses on the throat For more information or to make an appointment, call 1-800-922-0000 or visit www.nebraskamed.com.
