Types Of
Thyroid Cancer

Thyroid cancers are classified by the cells they originate from:

The most common type, usually slow-growing and treatable, but can spread to lymph nodes.

May spread to lungs or bones; outcomes are excellent with early treatment.

Less common, may run in families; often requires genetic testing and tailored care.

A rare, aggressive form, requiring urgent and multimodal treatment.

World-Class Diagnostics

Staging of Thyroid Cancer

Staging depends on tumor size, spread to lymph nodes, and distant spread. The prognosis for most thyroid cancers is excellent, with a 5-year survival rate of over 98% due to early diagnosis and effective treatments.

Stage I

Small tumor confined to thyroid, no spread.

Stage II

Tumor larger or spread to nearby lymph nodes.

Stage III

Tumor extends beyond thyroid into surrounding tissues or larger lymph nodes.

Stage IV

Cancer spreads to distant sites like lungs or bones.

At Athenaa, we blend advanced technology with personalized care, ensuring every woman's treatment is precise, compassionate, and supportive.

Radiation Oncology

Radiation therapy for thyroid cancer involves:

Radioactive iodine therapy: RAI is a common internal therapy where a radioactive form of iodine is taken orally, targeting and destroying thyroid cells, including cancer cells.
External beam radiation therapy: EBRT uses high-energy X-rays from outside the body to target cancer cells and is used when surgery or RAI are not options, or for more advanced cancers.

Survivorship & Supportive Care
Healing Beyond Treatment

Cancer treatment is only one part of the journey. Survivorship care focuses on helping women recover fully-physically, emotionally, and socially-after cancer. It addresses long-term health, supports emotional well-being, and ensures women regain confidence and quality of life.

At Athenaa, our care does not stop when treatment ends. Survivorship is about restoring health, dignity, and confidence, helping every woman live fully, thrive, and embrace life after cancer.

Onco-Fertility Preservation

Cancer shouldn’t mean giving up the future of motherhood. Our fertility specialists provide timely counselling, egg/embryo preservation, and ovarian shielding options.

Lymphedema Clinic

We offer a comprehensive and personalized lymphedema management program designed to restore function, relieve symptoms, and improve long-term quality of life.

Support Groups &
Onco-Psychology

Emotional resilience is key to recovery. Our support groups and onco-psychology team offer counselling for anxiety, body image, fear of recurrence, and relationship changes.

Nutrition & Lifestyle Counselling

Specialist-led support with personalized care to help manage treatment side effects, maintain strength during therapy, and promote long-term recovery.

Menopausal & Bone Health Support

Cancer treatments, especially chemotherapy and hormonal therapy, can weaken bones and trigger early or sudden menopause. Our experts help women manage these changes.

Palliative Care

Even when cancer cannot be cured, comfort can be protected. Our palliative care team manages physical and emotional distress with dignity-focused support.

Home Care

When hospital visits are difficult, our team brings care home. We offer skilled, compassionate support where women feel safest — at home.

Multidisciplinary Team-Based Care

Excellence is never by chance — it is by design. At Athenaa, every woman’s case is discussed in dedicated tumor boards, strengthened by collaboration with Johns Hopkins experts. This ensures that every decision carries the weight of world-class wisdom and the precision of personalized care.

At Apollo Athenaa, every woman’s care is planned by a team of specialists:

ENT specialists
Endocrinologists
Surgical oncologists
Medical oncologists
Fertility counsellors

Athenaa ensures holistic, personalized care — not just fighting disease, but enabling women to live fully, with strength, confidence, and the joy of tomorrow.
