Thyroid Cancer: What one Need to Know
By DR Narayana Subramaniam
Bengaluru March 25, 2025– The thyroid gland is a small, butterfly-shaped organ located at the front of the neck. It plays a crucial role in regulating metabolism, the cardiovascular system, the nervous system, and many other vital bodily functions. While thyroid disorders often involve decreased hormone production, the gland can also be affected by cancer. Dr Narayana Subramainam shares some important insights into the same.
How Common Is Thyroid Cancer and Who Is at Risk?
Thyroid cancer is more common in women. In India, it affects approximately 3-4 women per 1 lakh population and 1 man per 1 lakh population. Although it can occur at any age—from children to the elderly—most cases are diagnosed in individuals aged 30 to 50 years.
There are four major types of thyroid cancer, with papillary carcinoma being the most common. Fortunately, it typically responds well to treatment, and most patients go on to lead normal, healthy lives.
What Are the Signs of Thyroid Cancer?
Thyroid cancer often causes mild or no symptoms. However, possible signs include:
- A lump in the front of the neck that moves when swallowing.
- Voice changes or hoarseness.
- Discomfort or difficulty swallowing.
- Swelling or lumps on the side of the neck (due to lymph node involvement).
- Occasionally, it is incidentally detected during neck scans done for other reasons.
- Rarely, thyroid cancer may present as a rapidly growing, painful neck mass with swallowing or breathing difficulties.
How Is It Diagnosed? Should You Get Screened?
Thyroid cancer is usually diagnosed through:
- Ultrasound scanning of the neck.
- Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) – a needle test used to confirm the diagnosis.
- CT or MRI scans may be necessary in advanced cases.
Routine screening is not required unless you have a family history of thyroid cancer. This is because many people have harmless, non-cancerous thyroid nodules that can lead to unnecessary tests, procedures, and anxiety when detected incidentally.
How Is It Treated?
Treatment typically involves:
- Surgery: Removal of the thyroid gland (thyroidectomy), sometimes along with affected lymph nodes.
- Radioiodine therapy: A nuclear medicine treatment that targets remaining or spread cancer cells.
- Radiotherapy or chemotherapy: Used in select cases, depending on the cancer type and stage.
Is It Curable?
Yes, thyroid cancer is often curable.
- Papillary thyroid cancer in younger patients (<55 years) has a nearly 100% survival rate at 5 years.
- Other types also have high survival rates, depending on the type, stage, and treatment.
- Even in advanced cases, survival is possible with early diagnosis and appropriate, specialized treatment.
Early detection and timely, expert care are key to maximizing outcomes. If you have concerns or symptoms, consult with a qualified specialist promptly.

ISACA Study: 1 in 3 Tech Pros Switched Jobs in Past Two Years, Leaving 74 Percent of Firms Worried About IT Talent Retention
Heavy workloads and long hours cited as the top stressors for IT professionals,according to new research
Bangalore, India, 14th March 2025 – A career in tech can bring invigorating work, solid compensation and high satisfaction, but can also come with its own stresses—and can be challenging to break into in the first place—according to new research from ISACA, a global professional association championing the digital trust workforce.
The global ISACA Tech Workplace and Culture survey of 7,726 technology professionals explores career satisfaction, pay, levels of authority, mentorship, retention factors and more, including similarities and differences by gender and age group.
Career Motivation
While only 18 percent of respondents report pursuing a job in IT because of the ability to have a work-life balance, this factor does seem to matter to them once they are hired—41 percent cite this as the top reason that they stay at a job or company. Other key motivations for staying include:
• Hybrid/remote work options (40%)
• Liking job duties (37%)
• Interesting work (36%)
• Compensation (34%)
And why pursue a career in IT in the first place? Nearly half (45 percent) of respondents say they go into these professions because they enjoy problem-solving, followed by a desire for continuous learning (41 percent) and liking the job security/demand (38 percent).
There are some bright spots for those in this career. Nearly 70 percent of respondents received a salary increase or promotion in the last two years, despite the findings that only 36 percent took the initiative to ask for a salary increase or promotion and 57 percent did not even ask. Additionally, 70 percent say they are satisfied overall with their career progression (67 percent of women and 71 percent of men).
“India’s IT industry has been a global leader for decades, but the speed of technological change and changing employee aspirations are redefining workforce dynamics across the world. With 1 in 3 global tech professionals having changed employers over the last two years and 74% of companies grappling with retention, the issue is more than providing competitive salaries,” says Kannammal Gopalakrishnan, Senior Manager – Security and Resiliency, Kyndryl Solutions India Private Ltd; Member, ISACA Emerging Trends Working Group. “Firms worldwide, including in India, need to invest in flexible work, upskilling programs, and a robust culture of mentorship to hold on to their best talent. Work-life balance, career advancement, and purpose will be the drivers of IT workforce stability in the next few years.
Stress and Obstacles
However, challenges can arise when pursuing IT careers in the first place. Respondents say that these difficulties include the need for more technical knowledge (35 percent), changing technology, tools and best practices (31 percent) and specialized skills required for specific IT areas (30 percent).
They face other headwinds when trying to advance their careers, citing the biggest career obstacles as 1) not having an upward career path (30 percent), 2) limited career opportunities (24 percent), and 3) lack of mentors (19 percent).
Respondents note overwhelmingly that mentors are important (83 percent), and 63 percent say they would like to have a mentor. However, only 22 percent actually have one. The survey also found that women are more likely to have a mentor, want a mentor and recognize the importance of mentors—but men are more likely to be mentors.
These IT professionals experience stress on the job as well—with the exception of a fortunate 21 percent who say they do not—and these main work-related stressors include:
1. Heavy workloads (54 percent)
2. Long hours (43 percent)
3. Tight deadlines (41 percent)
4. Lack of resources (41 percent)
5. Unsupportive management (41 percent)
Disparities between men and women working in tech also present additional challenges. The survey finds that 37 percent of women have experienced gender discrimination at work, compared to 9 percent of men. Additionally, 42 percent of women say women are underrepresented in tech due to pay inequity, vs. 14 percent of men. Most believe that gender-inclusive programs have a positive impact, with 58 percent of men and 72 percent of women indicating they feel that way.
Retention Insights
In the face of these obstacles, one third of respondents indicate that they have changed jobs in the last two years, and 74 percent of organizations say they are concerned with attracting and retaining tech talent. However, only 27 percent of organizations frequently talk to their own employees about the issue.
While a similar percentage of men (31 percent) and women (32 percent) have recently left their jobs, these numbers look different when examining by age, with the following age demographics noting that they have changed jobs or employers in the last two years:
• Under 35 years old: 42 percent
• Ages 35-44: 35 percent
• Ages 45-54: 29 percent
The respondents cite the top reasons for leaving a job as being 1) desire for higher compensation (seen most among those under 35, at 43 percent for this group), 2) improve career prospects, and 3) desire for more interesting work.
“A robust and engaged tech workforce is essential to keeping enterprises operating at the highest level,” says Julia Kanouse, who serves as Chief Membership Officer at ISACA and oversees the association’s SheLeadsTech program. “In better understanding IT professionals’ motivations and pain points, including how these may differ across demographics, organizations can strengthen the resources and support these employees need to be effective and thrive, making strides in improving retention along the way.”

TGRTC is expected to register Rs 10,000 crore turnover next financial year: VC Sajjanar, VC & MD TGRTC. Sajjanar shared the historical transformation of TGRTC
Hyderabad, March 11, 2025:The Federation of Telangana Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FTCCI) organized a Conference on Navigating Corporate Failure and Digital Fraud: Pathways to Success at FTCCI Surana Auditorium, Federation House, Hyderabad on Monday evening
The program was organized to explore how good governance practices can help companies prevent fraud and corruption. It also covered the consequences of failing to do so.
Giving his opening remarks, Dr Suresh Kumar Singhal, President of FTCCI, said the program was a platform for dialogues, learning, and collaboration to prevent digital fraud.
Naresh Chandra and Dr Tasneem Shariff, Chair and Co-chair of the Corporate Laws, IBC & ADR Committee set the tone for the meeting, and introduced speakers.
Sri V C Sajjanar, IPS, Vice Chairman & Managing Director, Telangana State Road Transport Corporation was the chief guest.
Addressing a 150-plus audience, Mr. Sajjanar said he was a hardcore police officer, then tasked to manage TGRTC as MD. I didn’t know business. When I took over, the Corporation was not doing well and it was loss-making. The total turnover of the corporation in September 2021, when he took over, was Rs 3800 crore. We turned it around now in four years. Today it is a billion-dollar company. The turnover next year is likely to reach INR 10,000 crore.
The historical transformation happened because of the passion, commitment, determination, and hard work of our 50,000 employees, he shared
This was also possible due to the strong government support, without which we couldn’t have navigated the scenario. You need to have strong internal controls and transparency. We have been paying TGRTC employees without defaulting salaries and paid salaries on the first of the month due to a bit of financial engineering, he shared
Speaking about digital frauds, Mr. Sajjanar said we have reached a stage, we can’t do without technology. We depend heavily on it. The rise of AI and Big Data also increased the scope of digital fraud. Digital Frauds have been rising at an alarming pace. The cybercriminals are exploiting the increasing reliance on online platforms to steal personal information, money, and disrupt businesses. Hence, digital frauds have to be boardroom priorities of all the corporate houses.
Sajjanar, a former top cop, suggested that AI-powered fraud detection must be used to analyze data and identify suspicious activity. Use Blockchain technology to secure financial transactions, which ensures tamper-proof and resistant to alteration. Training the staff on cybersecurity is important to prevent digital fraud, and focus on educating them about basic security practices. Digital fraud is no longer a business risk, it is a societal concern, Sajjanar said.
A.J. Jawad, Registrar of the International Arbitration & Mediation Centre (IAMC), Guest of honour, a seasoned advocate, Senior Mediator and Trainer said business and marriages have a similarity. In both cases we don’t anticipate trouble. The courts in India have 5 crore pending cases, to dispose of them we need 324 years, provided there are no more new cases added. Further, when the dispute gets locked, 1.5% to 2% of GDP is lost due to the delayed outcomes in the country. The only way out for this is mediation and arbitration. Don’t wait for judicial reforms. Mediate the deal before you seal the deal. Then, if there is any dispute that arises, mediation can be
FTCCI and IAMC signed a letter of support between the two organisations to spread knowledge and create awareness about the same.
Aruna Ravikumar, Journalist and Author, talked on Red Flag in detecting corporate frauds, be aware, be prepared. She spoke about MLM (Multi-Level Marketing) and Ponzi scheme
We believe the popular saying that an idea can change a life. But an idea can also destroy your business, she said.Answering a question, Aruna said fraud is not gender-based. Women want to get into men’s world. We see many women involved in digital fraud now. Though it is not gender specific, you need to be alert, use common sense, and don’t fall prey to easy money.
Chartered Accountant Sharath Kumar delved into Leadership Strategies for Navigating Fraud in Digital AI. AI-driven frauds are on the rise. Blind trust on it can be suicidal. AI is a double-edged weapon. He gave a lot of case studies of recent frauds and how many corporate executives fell prey to cyber cheaters. Digital frauds happen when human intelligence fails. Human observation and common sense are very important.
The father and son duo of Niloufer Cafe Mr. Babu Rao and his son Shashank Anumula, MD of ABR Cafe & Bakers Pvt Ltd spoke about The Silver Lining of Setbacks: Turning Failures into Strategic Advantage. They shared their success, challenges, and plans. The café, which had 30 people in 1978, has now risen to a 2000-employee café. We are the only café in the world to have 2000 employees with just five outlets. We have one lakh walk-ins into our cafes every day. Mr. Babu Rao shared that they were coming out with another outlet in Gachibowli in 40,000 sft on the 19th April.
Sairam Palabindela, Founder of Cyber Security Solutions, talked about Strategies for Prevention, Recovery, and Growth.
