According to relevant data, in recent years, more and more people in China have suffered from thyroid cancer, which makes many people feel very worried. Although this disease is not uncommon in daily life, many people do not know about this disease, let alone the symptoms of thyroid cancer in the early stage. Now let's learn about this.

What are the early symptoms of thyroid cancer?

The early stage of thyroid cancer patients with neck swelling, local tumor symptoms, and tumor surface concave convex, fixed and hard. With the development of the disease, the tumor will become larger and oppress the trachea, resulting in dyspnea, hoarseness, a sense of obstruction when swallowing or enlargement of nearby lymph glands.

Undifferentiated carcinoma showed enlargement and pain of thyroid mass. Erosion of adjacent tissues can cause hoarseness, respiratory distress and dysphagia. Most of the tumors are tender, hard as stone, fixed with surrounding tissues, local lymph node enlargement, and distant metastasis.

Papillary carcinoma has the slowest growth, with few clinical symptoms except thyroid nodule and local lymph node enlargement. When the tumor is small and located in the deep thyroid, it is generally difficult to find. Follicular cell carcinoma is characterized by nodular goiter, mostly single nodule, hard as stone, which may involve the whole thyroid gland. In the later stage, erosion, pain and distant metastasis of adjacent tissues appear. Follicular cell carcinoma and its metastases have iodine uptake function and can occasionally cause hyperthyroidism.
