What should I do if there are lymph nodes after thyroid cancer surgery? Lymph node disease may be caused by inflammation, cancer recurrence, and cancer cell metastasis, and can be improved through drug therapy, surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. 1. Inflammation: If the daily care after thyroid cancer surgery is not good, local wound infection may cause immune response, and the inflammation may cause lymph node enlargement in patients. Antibiotics can be used to treat inflammation caused by infection, such as amoxicillin capsules, azithromycin tablets, etc. 2. Cancer recurrence: If the cancerous tissue is not completely removed during thyroid cancer surgery, the regeneration of cancer cells after surgery may lead to thyroid cancer recurrence. If it has not spread, surgery can be continued. 3. Cancer cell metastasis: If thyroid cancer recurs after surgery, cancer cells will metastasize to the lymph nodes. At this time, the proliferation of cancer cells in the lymph nodes will cause lymph node enlargement. If only lymph nodes are metastatic, lymph node cleaning can remove the cancer site at the same time, which can improve the disease. Once metastasis to other organs or tissues occurs, it can only be improved through radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Regular check-ups are required after thyroid cancer surgery to determine whether radiotherapy or chemotherapy is needed based on the specific circumstances, so as to avoid cancer recurrence and endanger the patient's life. |
