Were you looking for information about Thyroid Cancer? Thyrod cancer is a common misspelling of thyroid cancer.
Thyroid cancer develops when cancerous cells first form in the tissues of the thyroid, a butterfly-shaped gland located at the front of the neck. It is not known what causes this disease, but there are several risk factors that may increase a person's chances of developing this type of cancer. Some of these risk factors include being a woman, being over the age of 40, and not getting enough iodine in your diet. Possible treatment options for thyroid cancer include surgery, hormone therapy, chemotherapy, and radioactive iodine treatment.
