Will thyroid cancer cause high TAP?

Thyroid cancer leads to high TAP, that is, elevated thyroid-associated protein. Thyroid-associated protein is a glycoprotein secreted by thyroid follicular epithelial cells. It is a special glycoprotein secreted by thyroid follicular epithelial cells and its content in serum is extremely low under normal circumstances.

Thyroid-related proteins are mainly used in clinical diagnosis of diseases such as medullary thyroid cancer and primary hyperparathyroidism. When patients have elevated thyroid-related proteins, it may indicate the presence of the above diseases. If a patient has medullary thyroid cancer, the growth of tumor tissue may stimulate the body to produce a large amount of thyroid-related proteins, causing this indicator to increase. If a patient has primary hyperparathyroidism, it will lead to elevated parathyroid hormone levels, which in turn will cause elevated thyroid-related proteins.

If the patient has the above situation, it is recommended to seek medical attention in time for a complete examination and a clear diagnosis, and to follow the doctor's advice for targeted treatment. For patients diagnosed with medullary thyroid cancer, it is usually necessary to surgically remove the lesion for treatment. For patients diagnosed with primary hyperparathyroidism, they need to follow the doctor's advice to use drugs such as prednisone acetate tablets and methimazole tablets for treatment.

In daily life, patients are advised to pay attention to a balanced diet and take in nutrients. They can eat protein-rich foods such as eggs and milk to help enhance their immunity. At the same time, they can also exercise appropriately to improve their disease resistance.
