Treatment for Thyroid Cancer and other Endocrine Cancers
Our team of dedicated endocrine surgeons, endocrinologists and other specialists use state-of-the-art diagnostic techniques and treatment approaches to provide you with the best treatment options and outcomes.
Diagnosing & Staging Endocrine Cancer
Diagnosing and staging thyroid cancer and other endocrine cancers requires tests that examine the thyroid, neck and blood, including:
- Blood chemistry studies that measure the amount of calcium and other substances that organs and tissues release into the body.
- Blood hormone studies that measure the amounts of certain hormones released by organs and tissues.
- CT scans that create detailed, cross-sectional images of tumors and other structures in your body.
- Laryngoscopy to view whether your vocal cords are moving normally.
- MRIs that use magnets and radio waves to take detailed pictures that reveal the size of the mass, the type of tissue it originated in and whether it has spread to nearby tissues.
- Ultrasound to show the size of a thyroid nodule and whether it’s a solid or fluid-filled cyst.
- Needle or surgical biopsy to remove a small sample of a tumor for testing.

"From the moment I met Dr. Michael Sullivan, I knew he was our guy. He explained things in plain language, drew pictures so we could understand, answered every question we had and was so down to earth. He’s not only one of the best surgeons in his field, but he’s also one of the kindest." - Lauren Shields
