Overview
The hallmark of anaplastic thyroid cancer is swelling in the neck. A positive history of irradiation of head and neck, rapid growth of the nodule, and family history of anaplastic thyroid carcinoma is suggestive of anaplastic thyroid cancer. The most common symptoms of anaplastic thyroid cancer include swelling in the neck, pain in the front of the neck, and hoarseness of voice.
History
- Personal history of benign thyroid conditions and prior radiation therapy to the neck area, especially as a child[1]
- Inherited conditions that may increase the risk of thyroid cancer
- Family history of
- Thyroid cancer
- Other cancers
- Inherited conditions that may increase the risk of thyroid cancer
Common Symptoms
- Common symptoms of anaplastic thyroid cancer include:[2][3]
- Lump in the front, lower part of the neck
- A hoarse voice
- Difficulty swallowing
- Difficulty breathing
- Swollen lymph nodes in the neck
- Cough that doesn't go away and is not due to a cold
