Do thyroid tumors need to be surgically removed?

More than 90% of thyroid tumors are benign, and what needs to be removed are malignant tumors, benign tumors that affect endocrine, and huge tumors. Therefore, the most important thing for you at present is to confirm whether malignancy is not ruled out, whether the secretion of thyroxine is abnormal due to the tumor, or whether the trachea is compressed because of the large tumor.

Once thyroid cancer is diagnosed, surgery is not necessary? This issue, especially in the past six months, has been debated a lot in academic circles and on this network. The reason is that a part of thyroid cancer is found, and it is diagnosed as a condition in which thyroid cancer progresses very slowly, and can basically not change in 10 or 8 years, and there is no distant metastasis.

Such thyroid cancer is thought to be inactive or indolent thyroid cancer. This part of thyroid cancer does not necessarily require surgery, and some thyroid cancers will progress quickly. For example, once thyroid cancer is diagnosed, for example, the nodule in the thyroid gland is a tiny thyroid cancer.

Lymph nodes may metastasize very much, especially the lymph nodes on the side of the neck, which may metastasize very much.

Now there is no better way to distinguish between these two types of cells, whether the tumor is indolent, or the activity is relatively high, whether it is easy to metastasize or not easy to metastasize, whether the prognosis is good or not good.

This situation needs to be discussed with the patient, whether it should be done immediately or can be observed for a period of time. For those patients who need to be observed or are willing to be observed, they should be closely followed, such as ultrasound every 3 months or ultrasound every six months, to see how the nodules change to make a decision.

Most people with thyroid cancer will be surgical, but do thyroid cancer have to be operated on, and are there other ways**?

Thyroid cancer is also possible without surgery, for patients with advanced thyroid cancer is not suitable for surgery, but for early and middle thyroid cancer patients it is best to undergo surgery**, most patients with early and middle thyroid cancer can be completely surgically surgical**.

If a patient with advanced thyroid cancer is unable to undergo surgery, it can be conservatively**, through chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunization**, targeted drugs**, biology**, stem cell transplantation**, etc. As long as the growth and development of the tumor can be controlled and spread, the symptoms can be reduced to the greatest extent, the quality of life of the patient can be improved, and the long-term survival with the tumor can be prolonged. There are still many methods for thyroid cancer, and different methods should be taken in different periods.
