Presentation
If hyperparathyroidism is present, removal of hyperplastic or adenomatous parathyroids is required. Pheochromocytoma, if present, is usually bilateral. [msdmanuals.com]
CASE STUDY Initial Presentation A 49-year-old man with no significant past medical history presents with a painless mass in the anterior part of his neck. [jcomjournal.com]
Clinical presentation It can present as multinodular or solitary nodular goitre. The diagnosis is confirmed after an ultrasound scan reveals features of malignancy like microcalcifications Metastasis in flat bones: when a patient with a thyroid [slideshare.net]
Presentation is usually with a solitary palpable thyroid mass. [radiopaedia.org]
Multifocal papillary carcinoma is the most frequent presentation of familial nonmedullary thyroid carcinoma, and based on clinico-pathologic findings it is divided into 2 groups. [journals.lww.com]
Workup
The workup revealed a nodular thyroid gland with a follicular lesion on fine-needle aspiration. [karger.com]
The workup may also include having blood drawn to check the function of your thyroid. Remember, you can have a properly functioning thyroid gland and be diagnosed with Hürthle cell carcinoma. [oncolink.org]
Treatment for all PTC patients with a positive family history, regardless of variant, should entail a workup and evaluation including FNA of subcentimeter nodules, screening at a younger age, and earlier surgical intervention. [omicsonline.org]
Five percent of the population can have thyroid nodules, and the majority will be benign.[6] Appropriate workup includes an ultrasound of the neck, followed by lab studies. [en.wikipedia.org]
Treatment
Treatment In most hospitals, a team of specialists called a multidisciplinary team will advise on the best treatment for you. Treatment has a very high chance of curing papillary thyroid and follicular thyroid cancer. [makesensecampaign.eu]
Treatment Treatment of primary: Total thyroidectomy is always preferred Treatment of the metastasis: After total thyroidectomy a whole body scan is done to look for metastasis in the bone. [slideshare.net]
Treatment may be repeated after 6 to 12 months to ablate any remaining thyroid tissue. [msdmanuals.com]
There are standard treatments and some that are being tested in clinical trials. There are currently five standard treatments: 1. [physio-pedia.com]

As with any malignancy, staging of disease is an important part of management to inform treatment planning and prognosis. [radiopaedia.org]
Early detection is crucial for improving the prognosis but challenging because symptoms often appear late in the course of the disease. [amboss.com]
Etiology
Use Additional Use Additional Help Certain conditions have both an underlying etiology and multiple body system manifestations due to the underlying etiology. [icd10data.com]
Whereas the susceptibility gene for hereditary MTC, namely multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 (MEN 2), is well defined, finding the genetic etiology for the familial nonmedullary thyroid carcinoma syndromes is proving arduous. [academic.oup.com]
Etiology Genetic factors: Ionizing radiation ; (particularly during childhood): mostly associated with papillary carcinoma References: [1] [3] [4] Classification Histological classification of thyroid tumors (according to WHO 2004) Thyroid cancer Thyroid [amboss.com]
We also examined the risk of PTC in spouses of probands to determine evidence of shared environment in disease etiology. [jamanetwork.com]
Thyroid lab test are generally not helpful in the diagnosis of thyroid cancer, the lab tests are usually normal regardless if a cancer is present. [6] Etiology/Causes The cause of thyroid cancer is unknown, however, people who have their thyroid gland [physio-pedia.com]
