It is important to control body temperature, weight, heart rate, and more. A benign thyroid nodule is called an adenoma, however when a malignant growth is present, thyroid cancer usually manifests in the form of a palpable nodule or mass.<\/p>\n<p>At Metro ENT care, our physicians have expertise in diagnosing and treating all stages of thyroid cancer.
