Thyroid cancer
Thyroid cancer forms when normal thyroid cells undergo genetic changes that cause them to grow in an abnormal way. Explore types of thyroid cancer.
Hypothyroidism
The thyroid gland makes two forms of thyroid hormone – thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). Hypothyroidism is when the thyroid gland is not producing enough of these hormones. Gain an understanding of hypothyroidism.
