Stomach cancer is a malignant tumor that develops in the stomach. A malignant tumor is an abnormal mass of cells that harms the body. It is common in Korea, with about 30,000 people diagnosed each year. In its early stages, it often causes no symptoms, which makes it hard to detect early. Regular upper endoscopy is very important for early detection. If you notice unusual symptoms or have concerns, please be sure to see a medical specialist.2026-06-26

Thyroid Cancer
#thyroid cancer, #papillary carcinoma, #thyroidectomy, #radioactive iodine therapy, #thyroid hormone medication, #levothyroxine, #hypothyroidism, #lymph node metastasis, #thyroid ultrasound
Thyroid cancer is cancer that develops in the butterfly-shaped thyroid gland at the front of the neck. Prognosis varies greatly by type; papillary carcinoma, which accounts for more than 90% of thyroid cancers in Korea, grows slowly and responds well to treatment, so its outlook is relatively favorable. However, some rarer types have a poorer prognosis, so please be sure to decide on an accurate diagnosis and treatment through a medical specialist.2026-06-26

Thyroid Nodules and Thyroid Cancer
#thyroid cancer, #thyroid nodule, #thyroid ultrasound, #fine-needle aspiration cytology, #papillary carcinoma, #radioactive iodine, #thyroid surgery, #weakness in arms and legs, #difficulty moving one side of the body
Thyroid cancer is a malignant tumor that develops in the thyroid gland, a butterfly-shaped endocrine organ at the front of the neck that secretes the thyroid hormones that regulate the body's metabolism. Thyroid nodules (lumps) are very common, and a portion of them are found to be cancer, so early detection through ultrasound and cytology is important. If you can feel a lump in your neck or have symptoms such as voice changes, please consult an ENT specialist.2026-06-26

Tongue Cancer
#tongue cancer, #oral cancer, #head and neck cancer, #squamous cell carcinoma, #smoking, #human papillomavirus, #HPV, #tongue ulcer, #glossectomy, #flap reconstruction, #nausea, #feeling like vomiting, #vomiting
Tongue cancer is a malignant tumor that develops in the tongue and accounts for about 10 to 15% of all head and neck cancers. Because early symptoms resemble those of stomatitis (mouth sores), it is often left untreated and found late. Treatment outcomes tend to be better when the cancer is detected early, so if you have a sore on the tongue that does not heal or a lump you can feel, please consult a medical specialist without delay.2026-06-26
