Initial diagnosis is done with a dosage of thyroid stimulating hormone and a fine needle aspiration guided by ultrasonography, which permits classification of the lesion and guides the choice of treatment.

However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
