    Pathophysiology Sample

    Uploaded by

    Charles Vergel Sabaldan Marcera
    This document outlines risk factors and diagnostic tests for thyroid cancer. It lists non-modifiable risk factors like age, gender, family history and exposure to radiation. Modifiable risk factors include a lack of iodine in the diet. Tests include thyroid scans to detect nodules, and fine needle biopsies to diagnose benign or malignant growths. Treatment involves chemotherapy, radioactive iodine therapy, surgery, and levothyroxine medication.

    Modifiable Factors:

    Non-Modifiable Risk Factors:


    Exposure to iodizing radiation
    Age- 30 to 60 (<65 yo) (↑risk 5 – 40 yrs after radiation)
    Gender- women Dietary: lack of iodine
    Cretinism (due to hypothyroidism)
    Family History
