To accompany the professional guidelines the panel has produced three information leaflets to help patients through their diagnosis, treatment and side effects. The leaflets are:

• The thyroid gland and thyroid cancer – your tests and treatment
  
   
• Thyroid surgery – your thyroidectomy
  
   
• Radioactive iodine ablation therapy – things you need to know

You can download these leaflets from the website of the British Thyroid Association. The site also has links to other reliable sources of information about thyroid cancer and its treatment.

The Thyroid cancer information centre on the Cancerbackup website contains information about thyroid cancer and its treatment.

The CancerHelp website (Cancer Research UK) also has a section about thyroid cancer.
