GUIDE > THYROID CANCER |
|
| The
thyroid is a gland that makes and releases
hormones. It is found at the base
of your neck, at the front – just behind
the small hollow where your collar bones meet. Thyroid
cancer is quite a rare cancer. Only
about 1,000 cases are diagnosed in the UK
each year. Thyroid cancer is slightly more
common in women than in men. We
do not know why this is. Each year in the
United States, thyroid cancer is diagnosed
in 14,900 women and 4,600 men. |
