A 28-year old male came for an Ultimate Assessment at Preventicum. He was concerned about his general wellbeing and had found it challenging to access care locally due to the coronavirus pandemic. He was feeling very tired and had been experiencing longstanding night sweats. His full blood count and inflammatory markers were normal, but during ultrasound examination of his carotid arteries he was noted to have an abnormal looking lymph node in his neck. An urgent letter was shared with his local hospital where he was being investigated for a mouth ulcer. The lymph node was biopsied, and he was later diagnosed with a medullary carcinoma (cancer) of the thyroid gland. This led to surgery to remove the thyroid gland and 50 additional lymph nodes to clear the cancer and reduce the risk of spread. He is currently recovering from this procedure and is grateful to have discovered this through his Preventicum assessment and to have had the chance of curative surgery.
