The thyroid is a gland that sits in the front of the neck. It is responsible for producing a hormone called thyroxine. Thyroxine has an important role in the body as it affects many organs including the heart, muscles and bones. Diseases that affect the thyroid can make it either overactive (producing too much thyroxine), underactive (not producing enough thyroxine) or enlarged (goitre). Endocrinologists specialise in these diseases as well as cancer of the thyroid.
