Thyroid Cancer [PDF ebook] 

The thyroid is one of the most important glands in the body because the hormones that it produces affect the entire body’s metabolism. It influences the body’s reaction to other hormones and its utilization of energy, among other processes. Fortunately, thyroid cancers are usually treatable and rarely fatal. This interesting book begins by discussing how the thyroid functions, then it examines the types of thyroid cancer and how they are diagnosed and treated. It goes on to look at what recovery from treatment is like and what kind of follow-up can be expected. It also investigates current research that might lead to new methods of diagnosis and treatment.
