Signs to watch for
- A lump or swelling in the front of the neck
- Hoarseness of voice
- Difficulty swallowing
- Neck lymph-node swelling
- Many thyroid nodules cause no symptoms
Most of these have other causes too. If one lasts, see a doctor.
Free tumour board review for every case
Thyroid cancer develops in the butterfly-shaped gland at the front of the neck. Most thyroid cancers — particularly papillary type — grow slowly and respond very well to treatment, which centres on surgery, radioiodine therapy where indicated, and long-term thyroid hormone management.
Diagnosed at another hospital? You’re welcome too, with no commitment to start treatment at CION.

Having a risk factor doesn’t mean you will get cancer.
Neck ultrasound characterises the nodule, and FNAC (fine-needle aspiration) gives the diagnosis. Thyroid function tests and, for staging, additional imaging complete the work-up.
Many of these tests can be arranged by your CION team at CION’s Hyderabad centres.
Your plan depends on the type and stage of the cancer and on your overall health. CION’s tumour board agrees on it with you.

Thyroid Cancer treatment: Other CION centres in Hyderabad
CION treats these and other cancers. Not sure about yours? Ask when you call.
No — the large majority of thyroid nodules are benign. Ultrasound features and FNAC identify the small fraction that need surgery.
The nerves to the voice box run beside the thyroid and are carefully identified and preserved during surgery. Temporary voice change can occur; permanent change is uncommon in experienced hands.
Radioiodine is swallowed as a capsule and is taken up almost exclusively by thyroid tissue, destroying microscopic remnants after surgery in selected patients.
You can see a CION specialist for thyroid cancer at CION’s Hyderabad centres. Consultations, tests, biopsies and day-care chemotherapy are done there; surgery and radiation are arranged at partner centres. Call 1800 202 8726 to book.
Yes. Every case is discussed by CION’s tumour board of specialists from all its centres, at no charge. Tests and treatment are paid for separately, and you get a written estimate first.
Call 1800 202 8726 or use the form on this page. Our care team fixes a time and helps you organise the reports you already have.
It starts with a consultation at CION’s Hyderabad centres. The tumour board review is free.
