Symptoms
Early thyroid cancer often does not have symptoms. But as the cancer grows, symptoms may include:
- A lump in the front of the neck
- Hoarseness or voice changes
- Swollen
lymph nodes
in the neck
- Trouble swallowing or breathing
- Pain in the throat or neck that does not go away
Most often, these symptoms are not due to cancer. An infection, a benign goiter, or another health problem is usually the cause of these symptoms. Anyone with symptoms that do not go away in a couple of weeks should see a doctor to be diagnosed and treated as early as possible.
