Papillary Carcinoma
Papillary Carcinoma is a type of cancer that primarily affects the thyroid gland. It is characterized by the formation of small, finger-like projections called papillae. This cancer is generally considered to be one of the most common and least aggressive forms of thyroid cancer, often diagnosed in younger individuals.
The exact cause of papillary carcinoma is not fully understood, but certain risk factors, such as radiation exposure and a family history of thyroid cancer, may increase the likelihood of developing the disease. Treatment typically involves surgical removal of the tumor, and the prognosis is generally favorable, with high survival rates.
