COULD YOU BE SUFFERING FROM A THYROID DISORDER?

Q & A Featuring: Michael Singer MD, FAGS, Otolaryngologist and Shill Levy, MD, Endocrinologist,

Henry Ford West Bloomfield Hospital

What is the thyroid gland and what does it do?

How can you tell if nodules are cancerous?

The thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped organ in your neck. It produces a
hormone (thyroid) that controls the body's overall metabolism

After a physician discovers the presence of a nodule, an ultrasound will often
be used to study it. If necessary, an ultrasound-guided needle biopsy can be
performed to discover if the nodule is cancerous. In certain situations the biopsy
results are not conclusive. There are now specialized molecular tests that can be
used to confirm the diagnosis of cancer.

What are the most common problems associated with the
thyroid?

Twenty million Americans struggle with some type of thyroid disorder. These
include hyperthyroidism, which occurs when the gland produces an excess of
thyroid hormone, and hypothyroidism, when not enough is produced. Symptoms
such as sudden weight loss, jitteriness, feeling hot, and heart palpitations can all
be signs of hyperthyroidism.

Fortunately, while thyroid cancer is quite common, it is very treatable and in

most patients is completely curable.

Low thyroid hormone can cause different symptoms, including a lack of energy,
weight gain and feeling cold. In some patients, hypothyroidism can be attributed
to more serious conditions. Most of these can be diagnosed and treated medically
with the help of an endocrinologist.

How common are thyroid nodules?

Thyroid nodules are another very common problem. Thyroid nodules, which
are areas of abnormal growth within the thyroid gland, are often found during
routine tests (ultrasound or CT scan) or during a physical exam. They occur more
frequently in women than men. Up to fifty percent of women may have them.
These nodules often are benign, but in five percent of cases they are cancerous.
If the nodule is large and causing symptoms (such as difficulty swallowing or a
choking sensation) or if it is cancerous, treatment is usually recommended.
