What are the symptoms of thyroid cancer metastasis?

Suggestion: We must pay attention to the problem of metastatic symptoms of thyroid cancer. You mentioned the question of the symptoms of thyroid cancer metastasis, and the answer for you is as follows.

1. Symptoms of local metastasis: advanced local metastasis of thyroid cancer often has hard and fixed lymph nodes in the neck, and there is a greater chance of cervical lymph node metastasis and swelling in clinical mastoid cancer and medullary carcinoma.

2. Local compression symptoms: the thyroid tumor continues to enlarge and can compress the recurrent laryngeal nerve, resulting in hoarseness, dysphagia and weight loss due to esophageal invasion, dyspnea, hemoptysis and chest discomfort when the trachea is violated or compressed.

3. Symptoms of distant metastasis: the spread and metastasis rate of thyroid cancer can reach 50%, and the metastasis rate of cervical lymph nodes is more common in the lungs, skull, vertebrae and pelvis. Brain metastases can cause headache and vomiting, lung or mediastinal metastases can cause cough, hemoptysis and chest discomfort, bone metastases can cause pathological fractures and cause pain, spinal cord metastases can cause soreness or weakness in hands and feet, etc.

The early clinical manifestations of thyroid cancer are not obvious, patients or family members and doctors accidentally find that there is a hard and uneven mass in the cervical thyroid gland, most of them have no conscious symptoms, the neck mass is often an asymmetrical hard mass, the thyroid nodule mass can gradually increase, move up and down with swallowing, and can invade the trachea and be fixed, the mass is easy to produce compression symptoms earlier, such as accompanied by hoarseness, poor breathing, difficulty swallowing, or local tenderness and other compression symptoms, when the jugular vein is compressed, there can be signs such as venous distension and facial edema on the affected side, It is one of the characteristics of thyroid cancer, such as lung metastasis and bone metastasis, and even pathological fractures, while the thyroid gland should be carefully examined in the neck, and hypothyroidism in the advanced stage.

Thyroid cancer can metastasize, metastasize to cervical lymph nodes, cervical lymphadenopathy can occur, generally multiple, hard texture, poor mobility, no obvious tenderness; If metastasized to the lungs, coughing, hemoptysis, wheezing, and dyspnea may occur; metastasis to the pleura, malignant pleural effusion, dyspnea may occur; metastasis to the liver, hepatomegaly and pain in the liver area may occur; Metastasis to bone, bone pain, bone mass, pathological fracture at the metastasis site may occur.

Thyroid cancer can metastasize to the following places:1Lymph node.

Because there is a close connection between the thyroid gland and lymph nodes, many patients will have lymph node metastasis when they find thyroid cancer, and the prognosis is usually very good after surgical resection**. 2.Bone metastases.

For patients with advanced thyroid cancer, there will be distant metastases, the most common of which is bone metastases, including lumbar spine, sternum, limb bones, clavicles, etc. 3.Lung metastases.

This is also relatively common.

It does not metastasize, it is the lightest cancer among cancers, has the highest rate, and it is good to recover after surgery.
