Endocrine Cancers Program
Yale Cancer Center
Most endocrine tumors are benign, but a few will become cancerous. Collectively, endocrine cancers are much less common than other kinds of cancer.
The thyroid gland plays a key role in the body's endocrine system, which regulates metabolism, growth and development, reproduction, sleep and mood.
Thyroid cancer occurs when cells in the thyroid gland mutate and grow uncontrollably and form tumors in the thyroid.
Low Bone Density
Age and lifestyle can lower bone density and increase risk for conditions such as osteoporosis (dangerously low bone density).
