THYROID GLAND
http://darylmarxmd.com/web_pages/Thyroid_parathyroid_surgery.htm
Follicular cells secrete tetraiodothyronine (T4) and triiodothyrone (T3)
C Cells secrete calcitonin
Parathyroid glands secrete parathyroid hormone

CANCER
Class of diseases characterized by uncontrolled cell division and ability of the cells to invade other tissues either by direct growth into adjacent tissues (invasion) or by migration of cells to distant sites (metastasis)
Initiation → Promotion → Progression

RISK FACTORS
Almost all diseases of the thyroid including cancer occur about 3 times more often in women than in men
Exposure to head or neck radiation at a young age
A diet low in iodine Family history of thyroid cancer Risk of thyroid cancer peaks earlier for women
(who are most often in their 40s or 50s when diagnosed) than for men (who are usually in their 60s or 70s)

MNT FOR RADIATION
Radiation therapy (RT) is delivered with electromagnetic rays (gamma and x-rays) and charged particles (electrons)
RT to the neck can cause mucositis, xerostomia, dysphagia, odynophagia, and subsequently dehydration.
Eat foods that are easy to chew and avoid hot, spicy, salty, acidic, and sharp, crunchy foods.

MNT FOR CHEMOTHERAPY
Chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting may begin 24 hours after the administration of chemotherapy, and last up to a week
Encourage patient to take their anti-emetic medications and try 5-6 small meals a day
Avoid favorite foods for several days following treatment
