Detailed explanation-1: -If medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) is a possibility, the doctor will order tumor marker tests to check for high calcitonin and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels.
Detailed explanation-2: -The tumor growing in the thyroid can make your voice hoarse by blocking your vocal chords or it can make it hard to breathe by blocking your windpipe. Sometimes people can have MTC for a long time without symptoms because the tumor remains small. MTC can spread to other organs, such as lung, liver, bones, and brain.
Detailed explanation-3: -What are the Signs and Symptoms of Medullary Thyroid Cancer? Most patients with medullary thyroid cancer experience no symptoms. Some patients may notice a new lump in the neck or throat. Rarely, patients may feel a lump in throat with swallowing, new hoarseness of voice, or new cough.
