What are the precautions after hemisection of thyroid cancer? What medicine do I need to take?

If a thyroid cancer patient undergoes a hemisection, it means that the cancer is relatively early, the effect after the operation is good, and no medication is needed. However, the thyroid function needs to be checked regularly after the operation to avoid excessive secretion of thyroid hormone inhibitory hormones, which may cause metastasis and recurrence. Patients can live and work normally without worrying too much. However, within the first two weeks after the operation, it is recommended that patients be careful not to do strenuous exercise, not to lift heavy objects, avoid external impact on the neck, keep a good mood, and take medication on time.

1. Levothyroxine Sodium Tablets: Generally, after total thyroidectomy, levothyroxine sodium tablets are taken to promote thyroid hormone levels close to normal and meet the normal needs of the human body;

2. Euthyrox: After total left thyroidectomy, patients should routinely supplement thyroid hormone. Some patients may develop drug-induced hyperthyroidism. Taking Euthyrox can make the body's thyroid hormone levels close to normal and prevent metastasis and recurrence.

3. Chemotherapy drugs: After hemisection of thyroid cancer, patients can also take chemotherapy drugs routinely to kill the remaining cancer cells;

4. Targeted drugs: Some patients may need to take targeted drugs for treatment after surgery, such as the common sorafenib. Through gene testing, corresponding targeted drugs can be selected to inhibit the growth of tumor cells;

5. Immune drugs: If the patient develops lymph node metastasis after hemisection of thyroid cancer, he can also take immune drugs, such as carrelizumab, to enhance the body's immune function against tumor cells.

It is recommended that patients with thyroid cancer eat a light diet after surgery and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Keep the wound clean and dry to avoid infection. At the same time, maintain a good attitude and actively cooperate with the doctor for treatment.
