Thyroid Cancer

Thyroid Cancer - Symptoms

What are the symptoms of thyroid cancer?

Thyroid cancer typically does not cause any signs or symptoms early in the disease. As thyroid cancer grows, it may cause:

  • A painless lump on the front of the neck, just next to the voice box/windpipe
  • Voice changes, such as increasing hoarseness when speaking
  • Difficulty swallowing
  • Pain in the neck and throat
  • Swollen glands in the neck (enlarged lymph nodes on the side of the neck)

When should you see a doctor?

Make an appointment with your doctor if you experience any signs or symptoms that worry you.
