Thyroid Cancer
The thyroid gland is under the thyroid cartilage (Adam's apple) in the front part of the neck. In most people, the thyroid cannot be seen or felt. It is butterfly shaped, with 2 lobes-- the right lobe and the left lobe-- joined by a narrow isthmus. If you (or a loved one) are worried about developing thyroid cancer, have just been diagnosed, are going through treatment, or are trying to stay well after treatment, the Detailed Guide can help you find the answers you need.
