Prevention: Doctors are not sure what causes the gene changes that lead to most thyroid cancers, so there is no way to prevent thyroid cancer in people who have an average risk of the disease. Prevention for people with an elevated risk: Adults and children with an inherited gene that increases the risk of medullary thyroid cancer may consider thyroid surgery to prevent cancer (prophylactic thyroidectomy). Discuss your options with a genetic counselor who can explain your risk of thyroid cancer and your treatment options.
