What is the reason for thyroid cancer causing loss of voice for one year

Thyroid cancer has caused loss of voice for one year, which may be related to factors such as tumor compression of the recurrent laryngeal nerve, invasion of the recurrent laryngeal nerve, and metastatic lesions. It is recommended that patients go to the hospital for treatment in time and receive targeted treatment after completing relevant examinations.

1. Tumor compresses the recurrent laryngeal nerve: If the thyroid cancer is large and grows fast, it may compress the surrounding tissues, thus affecting the recurrent laryngeal nerve and causing hoarseness. In this case, surgical resection can be used for treatment, such as total thyroidectomy.

2. Invasion of the recurrent laryngeal nerve: If thyroid cancer has spread locally or metastasized to distant sites, it may also invade the recurrent laryngeal nerve, causing hoarseness. Chemotherapy or radiotherapy is needed as an auxiliary treatment to inhibit the spread and metastasis of cancer cells. You can also use methylcobalamin tablets and other nerve nourishing drugs for treatment as prescribed by your doctor.

3. Metastatic lesions: If thyroid cancer metastasizes to lymph nodes or blood, it may also cause damage to other parts of the body, thus causing hoarseness. Generally, radiotherapy or chemotherapy is needed as an auxiliary treatment to control the progression of the disease. If necessary, surgical resection is also needed;

4. Other factors: If the patient with thyroid cancer suffers from lung disease or brain disease, he or she may also experience hoarseness during the onset of the disease. It is recommended that the patient go to the hospital for treatment in a timely manner and receive targeted treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
