Malignant thyroid tumours – are considerably rare and their early diagnosis is not easy.

In the first period malignant thyroid tumours do not differ from their benign form.

Thyroid cancer is 9th most common cancer in the world.

It is 5th most common malignant cancer in women and 16th in men.

In 2020 about 580 000 new cases were diagnosed.

The most common symptoms of thyroid cacer are: ♦ painful lump or swelling of the front of the neck, ♦ swelling of the lymph nodes of the neck, ♦ unexplained hoarseness, ♦ sore throat that does not go away, ♦ difficulty swallowing, ♦ breathing problems.

Every year in Poland about 2000 malignant thyroid cancers are diagnosed.

Risk factors: ♦ genetic load, ♦ genetic syndromes (FNMTC, Cowden, MEN2, MEN2b, familial adenomatous polyposis), ♦ female gender, ♦ age over 50, ♦ radiation therapy in the area of the neck, ♦ obesity, ♦ high content of iodine in diet, ♦ high levels of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH).

Test covers the analysis of 19850 genetic changes (SNP) in 13 genes:
