Thyroid Cancer is on the rise. It’s a non-smoking related condition that can affect people of any age.
The most common early symptom of thyroid cancer is a lump in the neck, often found toward the front, below the Adam’s Apple. Thyroid cancers can be slow growing, so a lump may have been present for a while.
