At present, the exact cause of thyroid cancer is still unclear, but it may be related to multiple factors such as oncogenes, genetics, and ionizing radiation. Patients with early thyroid cancer usually have no obvious symptoms. As the tumor grows, compression of adjacent tissues can manifest as neck lumps, neck pain, difficulty breathing, hoarseness and other symptoms. It is necessary to seek medical attention in time, clarify the condition, and take surgical treatment.
