Thyroid cancer

There are 4 main types of thyroid cancer: papillary (the most common), follicular, medullary and anaplastic. Sometimes they cause no early symptoms and may be discovered during a routine physical examination.

The risk factors are: being over the age of 46, a woman, having a family history of the disease, certain genetic affectations, exposure to radiations of the head-neck as a child, and being of Asian origin. The more the risk factors, the greater the probability of contacting thyroid cancer.

There are hospitals where you stop being a person and become a patient the moment you cross the threshold. That doesn’t happen at Onkologikoa: because the patients, since that’s what they are, still are and feel like people. Because our specialist doctors accompany you throughout the process of your disease, guiding you as best they can.
