Abstract
The thyroid is an accessible organ near the body’s surface which can easily be palpated during a routine physical examination or “ningen dock,” added as a simple adjunct to a sonogram of the breast or picked up by a CT, MRI or PET scan. Thyroid cancer also tends to progress slowly and many latent cancers are discovered in post-mortem pathology.
