What Is the Thyroid?

The thyroid is a small gland located just below the Adam’s apple in the center of the neck.
It produces thyroid hormones that regulate the body’s energy and metabolism.

Normally, it isn’t felt by touch, but abnormalities may cause it to enlarge or become noticeable.
Thyroid hormones play a key role in growth and development, as well as temperature regulation, muscle tone, and emotional balance.

Thyroid Examination

Ultrasound

Used to check the size and location of thyroid nodules.

Provides a safe, non-invasive view of the
thyroid’s structure and surrounding tissue.
If abnormalities are found, a guided biopsy may follow.

Biopsy

Determines whether a thyroid nodule is benign or malignant.

A simple and safe test that collects thyroid tissue for
analysis if cancer is suspected.

Blood Test

Checks thyroid hormone levels to assess thyroid function.

High levels indicate hyperthyroidism;
low levels suggest hypothyroidism.

What Is Thyroid Cancer?

Thyroid cancer refers to malignant tumors found in the thyroid gland. There are several types, classified by the origin and appearance of the cells.

Thyroid cancer ranks as the most common cancer in Korea, but it grows slowly and often causes no pain, making early detection difficult.
By the time symptoms appear, it may have already spread to nearby lymph nodes.
Regular screenings are essential for early diagnosis and effective treatment.

Warning Signs of Thyroid Cancer

  • A lump that feels fixed and doesn’t move easily

  • Swollen lymph nodes on the same side as the lump

  • Family history of thyroid cancer with a noticeable thyroid nodule

  • A large or rapidly growing nodule

  • Difficulty breathing or swallowing

  • A lump in the thyroid with voice changes

  • A nodule that feels very hard to the touch
