If you are suspected to have thyroid cancer you will have to take a couple of test.
First the physical exam if you have lumps in your throat that are called nodules. The doctor checks all around your neck for types of growth. The doctor may treat you by giving you a thyroid scan which requires you to drink a type of radioactive substance.
A Biopsy is the best to determine if you have throat cancer. The doctor takes tissues from your throat and tests them. Another way is to take a blood test.
In order to determine what stage you are in after the biopsy the patient will have to receive a CAT scan. The stage of cancer is determined by the size of the growth.
