Thyroid Cancer, Hashimoto’s & Early Detection | Dr. Rashmi Roy on Modern Thyroid & Wellness Podcast

In this in-depth conversation, Dr. Rashmi Roy—one of the nation’s most experienced thyroid surgeons at the Clayman Thyroid Center—sits down with McCall McPherson, PA-C, host of the Modern Thyroid & Wellness Podcast, to discuss the truth about thyroid health, thyroid cancer, and Hashimoto’s disease. Dr. Roy explains why thyroid cancer is on the rise—especially in women ages 30–50—and why many patients never experience symptoms until it’s advanced. She highlights why blood tests don’t detect thyroid cancer, and how simple proactive steps like monthly self-neck checks and thyroid ultrasounds can make all the difference for early detection. Other topics include: ✅ Hashimoto’s disease and when surgery may improve quality of life ✅ The importance of choosing a high-volume thyroid surgeon to avoid complications ✅ Common myths—like “thyroid cancer is the best cancer to get”—and why they’re dangerous ✅ Why keeping part of the thyroid is possible for many cancer patients (avoiding lifelong medication) ✅ The role of diet, lifestyle, and patient self-advocacy in thyroid wellness McCall and Dr. Roy also talk openly about the patient journey, the challenges women face in getting their symptoms taken seriously, and how advocating for yourself can be life-saving. 💡 “Early detection is early cure.” #ThyroidHealth #ThyroidCancer #Hashimotos #WomensHealth #ThyroidAwareness #midlifewomen 00:01 Introduction and Dr. Rashmi Roy 00:37 Dr. Roy's thyroid surgery career path 02:24 Thyroid cancer risk factors and incidence 03:26 Symptoms and detection of thyroid cancer 05:28 Self-neck checks and screening ultrasound 08:00 Nodule evaluation and biopsy steps 10:38 Benign nodules and treatment options 11:13 Types of thyroid cancer overview 15:29 Lymph node evaluation and surgery planning 17:04 Partial vs full thyroidectomy decisions 19:01 Surgical risks: vocal nerve and parathyroid 23:24 Finding and choosing a thyroid surgeon 26:38 High-volume surgeon importance 27:22 Common myths about thyroid cancer 30:36 Concerns about cancer monitoring 32:11 Radio frequency ablation for nodules 33:22 Thyroidectomy for Hashimoto's patients 37:23 Contact info and resources for Dr. Roy
