What is Thyroid Cancer?

The thyroid gland is below the Adam's apple in the front part of the neck. It is butterfly shaped, with 2 lobes — the right lobe and the left lobe. Cancer is an abnormal growth of cells. When these cells grow in the thyroid, it is called thyroid cancer. To learn more about thyroid cancer click here.
