Overview

The thyroid gland comprises two types of cells. These include follicular cells (producing thyroid hormone) and parafollicular cells or C-cells (producing calcitonin). Uncontrolled cell division in any of these cell types results in thyroid cancer. Thyroid cancer involving the follicular cells accounts for almost 90-95% of all thyroid cancer. The progression, severity, and treatment of thyroid cancer depend upon the type of thyroid cancer.
