What should thyroid cancer patients do if they have a lot of white hair?

Patients with thyroid cancer who have more white hair are advised to go to the hospital to identify the specific cause and receive targeted treatment under the guidance of a doctor. Generally, treatment can be carried out through surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, biological targeted therapy, immunotherapy, etc.

1. Surgical treatment: If thyroid cancer patients have an increase in white hair, it may be due to the worsening of thyroid cancer. Surgery can be performed to remove the lesions and relieve the patient's symptoms, which can alleviate the above situation to a certain extent;

2. Radiotherapy: The increase of white hair in thyroid cancer may also be due to the spread and metastasis of thyroid cancer cells. In this case, radiation can be used to kill cancer cells and relieve the patient's symptoms;

3. Chemotherapy: You can follow the doctor's advice to use docetaxel injection, capecitabine tablets, paclitaxel injection and other chemotherapy drugs, which can control the progression of the disease, inhibit the growth of cancer cells, and alleviate the phenomenon of increased white hair in patients;

4. Biological targeted therapy: If it is caused by the spread and metastasis of thyroid cancer cells, it can be diagnosed through genetic testing and molecular targeted therapy can be carried out under the guidance of a doctor. It can identify tumor cells, thereby achieving the purpose of treating the disease and alleviating the phenomenon of increased gray hair in patients.

5. Immunotherapy: If the immune examination finds that the patient has antibodies against thyroid cancer in the body, immunotherapy with drugs such as trastuzumab injection and cyclophosphamide injection can be used as prescribed by the doctor. This can enhance the body's immunity to tumors, thereby inhibiting the growth of cancer cells and alleviating the patient's symptoms.

Patients are advised not to have too much psychological pressure, keep a good mood, eat more foods rich in vitamins and protein, and eat less spicy and irritating foods.
