Question 1

jugular lymph node enlargement up to 2.6cm,  post tt/thyroid cancer 2012, rai scan clear, thyroid bed clear, not sick, what's the cause?

Accepted Answer

Enlarged neck node: A large neck node with a prior history of thyroid cancer is worrisome. See an ENT doctor and start with a fine needle aspiration of the enlarged node is my recommendation.

Question 2

does thyroid cancer cause you to sweat?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily: Here is a good review on thyroid cancer symptoms

Question 3

can thyroid cancer be caused from asbestos?

Accepted Answer

No: Thyroid  tumors are associated with a stimulatory factor arising in the pituitary.  Asbestos causes problems when the dust arising from the handling of asbestos gets into  the respiratory tract.  Under this situation many so  exposed develop mesothelisoma of the lining of the lung totally  unassociated with thyroid cancer which can also arise in early age from exposure of to H&amp;N radiation.

Question 4

can asbestos exposure cause thyroid cancer?

Accepted Answer

Mesothelioma (lung): No doubt. Asbestos exposure - especially long term - causes mesothelioma. It is not safe and harms health in many ways, but there is no established connection to any of the thyroid cancers.

best wishes for your health.

Question 5

does thyroid cancer cause a productive cough?

Accepted Answer

Productive cough: If the cancer spreads to the lung- you could have cough caused by the cancer spread. Although it is usually dry cough, but productive cough also can happen- especially if there is obstructive pneumonitis or superimposed infection for instance.  However other causes of productive cough like infections ( bronchitis, pneumonia) or exacerbation of chronic lung disease- obviously have  to be ruled out.

Question 6

can thyroid cancer cause hypothyroid symptoms?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Most of the time, thyroid cancer does not change thyroid function.  However, after being treated for thyroid cancer, you will be hypothyroid if your thyroid gland is removed.

Question 7

can victoza (liraglutide) cause thyroid cancer?

Accepted Answer

Not in humans: Hi. In rodents, Victoza (liraglutide) (and all GLP-1 receptor agonists) can cause C-cell hyperplasia and MEDULLARY thyroid cancer (MTC), NOT regular thyroid cancer (papillary or follicular); ergo the black box warning. MTC is a VERY rare form of thyroid cancer seen in a few genetic syndromes and vanishingly rarely sporadically outside of those syndromes. In humans, there are no data the GLP-1's do that.

Question 8

does drug invega (paliperidone) cause thyroid cancer?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: Anything's possible, but this drug has not ever been associated with thyroid cancer, which can occur in anyone no matter what drugs they're receiving.

Question 9

is it possible that invega (paliperidone) cause thyroid cancer?

Accepted Answer

I'd be very shocked: Ask the doctor who prescribed it to take some time to explain & discuss the side effects possible. One possible side effect is swelling in the throat and i suppose you might be interpreting such an effect as thyroid. It is probably not, but ask and if necessary, they can run lab tests. Good luck.

Question 10

can thyroid cancer cause hyperthyroidism?

Accepted Answer

Can coexist : Thyroid cancer can coexist with hyperthyroidism especially with multi nodular goitersbut rare.
