Primary Thyroid Lymphoma (PTL) is a rare type of cancer that originates in the thyroid gland due to the uncontrolled growth of abnormal lymphocytes (white blood cells). The thyroid, a small gland in the neck, produces hormones that regulate various bodily functions. PTL is more common in women than men and is most frequently diagnosed in older adults between the ages of 65 and 75.
Many sufferers of Primary Thyroid Lymphoma struggle because they feel that their disease doesn’t have the same level of awareness as more common cancers. Without a Ribbon is an Australian non-profit organisation that believes that rare cancers should never go unnoticed. We aim to provide a detailed set of resources and information for anyone suffering from cancers such as Primary Thyroid Lymphoma . We have recently created an Primary Thyroid Lymphoma resource page to help sufferers understand their disease. It covers the symptoms, available treatments and other important information.
We hope that this resource page will help you or a friend/family member to learn about their illness and aid them through their battle with the disease.
