When the cells of thyroid gland divides or multiply in uncontrolled manner it leads towards thyroid tumor. Thyroid cancer is the most common endocrine cancer that is classified into four types named as papillary thyroid cancer (PTC), follicular thyroid cancer (FTC), anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) and medullary thyroid cancer (MTC). Papillary thyroid cancer is the most common of every single endocrine disease representing 85-90% of every thyroid tumor.
