What Are the Treatments for Advanced Thyroid Cancer?
The thyroid, a small gland located underneath the voice box, regulates the body’s metabolism. Several options are available to treat advanced thyroid cancer, which is rare in the United States, reports the American Cancer Society. If the disease is incurable, the goal of treatment is to relieve painful symptoms and to prolong survival by reducing tumor mass and metastasis. It is often helpful to get a second opinion before choosing therapy.
