Thyroid cancer is cancer of the thyroid gland. This gland makes thyroid hormone and is located in the front of the neck. Tumors of the thyroid gland often appear as bumps in the neck, called nodules. In most cases, thyroid nodules are not cancerous. Those that are cancerous have the potential to spread throughout the body.
