Strategies for Western medicine treatment of thyroid cancer

Strategies for Western medicine treatment of thyroid cancer:

1. In recent years, with the improvement of people's health awareness, health examinations have received more and more attention, and more and more thyroid tumors have been found, especially in young women, many of whom are thyroid cancer patients. Thyroid tumors are treated in township hospitals from provincial hospitals, but it is found that many treatments are not standardized and many patients need secondary surgery, which not only increases the economic burden of patients, but also increases the pain of patients.

2. According to the patient's age, gender, size, extent, histological classification of the primary tumor, DNA duplex and whether there is distant metastasis, the patient is divided into several risk groups to facilitate the selection of treatment options. Male patients over 45 years old are high-risk patients; high malignancy, large primary tumor, high risk of thyroid invasion and distant metastasis.

3. Female patients under 45 years old, with tumors limited to the gland, good tissue differentiation, and no distant metastasis are low-risk patients. Understanding the relevant factors of clinical prognosis is very helpful in mastering the surgical indications for total thyroidectomy. The indicators of total thyroidectomy are distant metastasis, diffuse involvement of the entire thyroid gland, multiple nodules in both thyroid lobes, and extensive invasion outside the thyroid gland; a single nodule limited to one thyroid lobe is an indicator of ipsilateral thyroid lobectomy. Grouping according to patient risk and tumor risk helps guide the selection of the first treatment plan.
