What are the symptoms of thyroid tumor

The symptoms of thyroid adenoma vary, and this disease is more common in children and women over 40 years old. Long-term manifestations include a swelling in the patient's neck, and the patient may also experience hoarseness, difficulty breathing, or difficulty swallowing.

① Children and women over 40 years old are the most common victims, with the male to female ratio being 1:2.4. There are no characteristic clinical manifestations in the early stage, but more than 95% of patients have a mass (or tumor) in the anterior neck, especially isolated, irregular, unclearly bordered, and poorly mobile hard tumors, which should be of particular concern.

② In addition to the tumor, there are also the following symptoms: the patient has hoarseness or choking when drinking water; difficulty breathing or swallowing; radiating pain in the ears, pillow, and shoulders; compression and dilation of the neck veins or the appearance of palpebral fissures and pupil constriction; ipsilateral or bilateral lymph node enlargement, etc. Anyone who has the above symptoms should be highly suspicious of thyroid cancer.

③ Perform fine needle aspiration cytology examination. This method is one of the most reliable diagnostic methods for thyroid cancer, with an accuracy rate of over 80%; intraoperative rapid frozen section examination is a key diagnostic method for thyroid cancer, with an accuracy rate of nearly 90%; paraffin section pathological examination is the most ideal diagnostic measure for thyroid cancer, with an accuracy rate of up to 100%.

④B-ultrasound and isotope scanning of the thyroid gland in the neck, etc.

If you have early symptoms of thyroid cancer, please do not overthink it or suspect that you are in poor health. You should go to a regular hospital for a detailed examination. If you are really diagnosed with thyroid cancer, please don't worry too much. Early thyroid cancer can still be cured through active surgery combined with radiotherapy and chemotherapy, supplemented by the anti-cancer auxiliary drug ginsenoside RH2. If it is in the late stage, as a conservative treatment, taking life-saving medicine can also achieve the effect of shrinking the tumor, improving the quality of life, and prolonging life.
