What will happen if you don't take medication for thyroid cancer

Thyroid cancer is a common malignant tumor. If patients with thyroid cancer do not take medication for treatment, the condition may worsen and even endanger their lives. Treatments for thyroid cancer include surgery, radioactive iodine therapy, chemotherapy, targeted drug therapy, etc.

1. Exacerbation of the disease: Thyroid cancer is a malignant tumor. If you do not take medication for treatment, as the disease progresses, the local mass will increase and the cervical lymph nodes will metastasize. At this time, you need to follow the doctor's advice in time to remove the lesion through surgery. After the operation, you also need to cooperate with radiotherapy, chemotherapy and other auxiliary treatments;

2. Life-threatening: If thyroid cancer patients do not take medication for treatment, the condition may worsen, leading to distant metastasis, such as lung metastasis, bone metastasis, etc. This will have a serious impact on physical health and may endanger life safety.

Therefore, it is recommended that patients with thyroid cancer choose appropriate treatment methods under the guidance of a doctor. If thyroid cancer is not treated in time after being diagnosed, the condition may worsen. Therefore, it is recommended that patients go to the hospital as soon as possible and actively cooperate with the doctor for targeted treatment.
