 | | Patients who had radiation therapy to the head or neck as children for acne, adenoids, or other reasons are more prone to develop thyroid malignancy. | | | If a lump in your thyroid is diagnosed, your doctor may recommend a fine needle aspiration biopsy. | | | If the fine needle aspiration is reported as suspicious for or suggestive of cancer, then thyroid surgery is required. |

| | The thyroid gland appears to be quite sensitive to irradiation: during the 1970s an increased incidence of thyroid cancer was found among people who had been treated early in life with X rays for such conditions as acne, ringworm, and tonsilitis. | | | This condition can result from disorders of the pituitary or of the thyroid gland itself. | | | The usual treatment is to administer an antithyroid drug, such as propylthiouracil, or a dose of radioactive iodine, which is concentrated in the thyroid gland and destroys some of the tissue. |
