Your thyroid gland produces different types of hormones to your body. It produces hormones, the temperature, and your metabolism.
There are four main types of thyroid cancer, papillary , follicular, medullary, and anaplastic. 
The papillary is the first most common form of thyroid cancer, it is also the most common form of exposure to  radiation. 
The Follicular is the second most common thyroid cancer. It is consider more aggressive then papillary. It can spread through the lungs, bones, brain, liver, bladder, and skin. 
The Medullary may cause a lump to form in the neck. The medullary specializes in the thyroid cells, known as the C cells, these cells sends out a hormone that is called the calcitonin. Calcitonins hormones controls the calcium levels in the blood. It occurs at the age 40 and above.
The Anaplastic is an aggressive thyroid glend, it is one of the fastest growing tumors in the human body. Anaplastic spreads to your organs faster then the other thyroid cancers. It often occurs at the age 60 and above.

3. Chemotherapy 
Uses drugs to stop the cancer cells from growth, by killing the cells or slows down the cells dividing process or kills the cancer cells. You can take the drugs by mouth or injected into the veins or muscle,  it enters the bloodstream and travels through out the body to the cancer cells.
