Papillary thyroid cancer without surgery

The thyroid gland is an endocrine organ in the body that cannot be ignored, but in daily life, many people directly ignore the health problems of the thyroid gland, causing the thyroid gland to suffer from various diseases. Among them, thyroid cancer has become a more serious malignant tumor problem that endangers human health. Some patients even develop into papillary thyroid cancer. Can non-surgical methods be used to treat it at this time?

Thyroid cancer is a malignant tumor. There are currently four pathological types: papillary carcinoma, follicular carcinoma, medullary carcinoma and undifferentiated carcinoma. Thyroid cancer ultrasound. To give you a rough idea, thyroid puncture is a procedure to obtain partial tissue through needle biopsy for a clear pathological diagnosis.

treat

1. Surgery

Complete surgical resection is the most basic treatment for papillary thyroid carcinoma. Depending on the condition of the thyroid tumor, one thyroid lobe plus isthmus resection or total thyroid resection is selected. Depending on the condition of cervical lymph node metastasis, central lymph node dissection or cervical lymph node dissection is selected. Thyroid tumor removal or subtotal thyroidectomy is not recommended.

2. Thyroid hormone therapy

Thyroid hormone therapy inhibits the body's production of serum thyrotropin, which can promote the growth of thyroid cancer cells. Therefore, thyroid hormone therapy can remove the environment that promotes the growth of thyroid cancer cells and achieve the purpose of treatment.

3. Isotope therapy

Advanced cases with lung or bone metastases and certain high-risk cases should be treated with 131 iodine. Total thyroidectomy is required before isotope therapy.

4. Chemoradiotherapy

Since papillary thyroid carcinoma is not sensitive to radiotherapy and chemotherapy, it is not used as a routine treatment.

Prognosis

Regular follow-up helps to detect recurrence of thyroid cancer in a timely manner. There is still a chance of complete cure if it is discovered and treated in time.
