[] [|Thyroid] cancer is a cancerous growth of the [|thyroid] gland. [|Thyroid] cancer can occur in all age groups. People who have had [|radiation therapy] to the neck are at higher risk. Radiation therapy was commonly used in the 1950s to treat enlarged thymus glands, adenoids and tonsils, and skin disorders. People who received radiation therapy as children are at increased risk for developing [|thyroid] cancer. different types of thyriod cancer!:
 * [|Anaplastic carcinoma] (also called giant and spindle cell cancer) is the most dangerous form of [|thyroid] cancer. It is rare, and does not respond to radioiodine therapy. Anaplastic carcinoma spreads quickly and invades nearby structures such as the windpipe (trachea), causing [|breathing difficulties].
 * Follicular [|carcinoma] accounts for about 10% of all cases and is more likely to come back and spread.
 * Medullary carcinoma is a cancer of nonthyroid cells that are normally present in the [|thyroid] gland. This form of the [|thyroid] cancer tends to occur in families. It requires different treatment than other types of [|thyroid] cancer.
 * [|Papillary carcinoma] is the most common type, and usually affects women of childbearing age. It spreads slowly and is the least dangerous type of [|thyroid] cancer.

[] Pituitary gland.. An **adenoma** is an abnormal growth or tumor in glandular tissue, such as the pituitary or adrenal gland. Pituitary adenomas are adenomas that grow in the pituitary gland. Pituitary adenomas can lead to changes in hormonal balance, growth problems, and nerve damage. Symptoms of pituitary adenomas can vary considerably, depending on whether the tumor is secreting one or more of a variety of hormones. Even if the tumor is not producing any hormones, its location at the base of the brain can cause significant symptoms. Adenomas are not cancerous and do not spread to other parts of the body.

[] The parathyriod..sole purpose of the parathyroid glands is to regulate the **calcium** level in our bodies within a very narrow range so that the nervous and muscular systems can function properly. Although they are neighbors and both part of the endocrine system, the thyroid and parathyroid glands are otherwise unrelated**.** The single major disease of parathyroid glands is overactivity of one or more of the parathyroids; tht's [|hyperparathyroidism] .

the pancreas causes diabeities.

ovaries! Some women experience a twinge, a cramp, or some discomfort in the lower back or abdomen when ovulation occurs. Women sometimes notice a small amount of vaginal discharge, sometimes containing a small amount of blood, during ovulation. For some women these symptoms are severe enough to be mistaken for an ectopic pregnancy or appendicitis. Other women experience headaches, gastric pain, or a general malaise; while others women experience feeling much better during ovulation.Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs, similar to blisters. Ovarian cysts are common among women during their reproductive years and are growths that form on either of the two almond-sized glands on each side of the uterus.Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal disorder that affects an estimated seven percent of all women. It is the most common hormonal disorder among women. According to experts, the actual number of women affected by PCOS may be as high as one out of ten simply because so many cases remain undiagnosed. Why are so many cases of PCOS undiagnosed? Since the symptoms can vary from woman to woman it is often difficult to accurately diagnose polycystic ovarian syndrome.Ovarian cancer is often called the "silent" killer because many times there are no symptoms until the disease has progressed to an advanced stage.

hypothalamus!!! [] The hypothalamus is a part of the brain.causes of the hypothalamus are **Malnutrition, Trauma, Anorexia,Tumors.** []
 * Malnutrition-**When the body is deprived of essential nutrients, it can interfere with the normal functioning of the hypothalamus. Poor nutrition can certainly put a person in the risk.
 * Trauma-**A trauma such as an accident that affects the head can also lead to hypothalamic dysfunction. A traumatic brain injury from an external force causes too much bleeding.
 * Anorexia**-Anorexia is a eating disorder in which the person consumes very less amount of food. People with anorexia are obsessed about losing weight and adopt extreme measures to stay thin.
 * Tumors**-Hypothalamic disorders can also occur as a consequence of tumors occurring inside the hypothalamus. Also, referred as hypothalamic tumor, the unwanted growth can decrease blood flow to the hypothalamus.
