A low white blood cell count is a common side effect of some cancers and cancer treatment. When your white blood cell count is too low, you have a high risk of getting an infection. Infections can be very serious in people with cancer.
Thyroid nodules are lumps which commonly arise within an otherwise normal thyroid gland.
Thyroid cancer is found in about 8 percent of nodules in men (or 8 out of 100) and in 4 percent of nodules in women. About 90 percent of all thyroid nodules are benign (non-cancerous). The cause of most benign nodules is not known, but they are often found in members of the same family. Worldwide, lack of iodine in the diet is a very common cause of nodules.
