What's the matter with thyroid cancer but normal thyroid function

Thyroid cancer is a malignant tumor, but normal thyroid function may be due to the fact that the thyroid cancer is in its early stages or has not metastasized or spread. It is recommended that patients seek medical attention in a timely manner and receive treatment based on their specific circumstances.

1. Thyroid cancer is in the early stage: If thyroid cancer is in the early stage, there are no obvious symptoms, such as difficulty swallowing and breathing, and the tumor is small and does not cause compression to the surrounding tissues, it may not affect the thyroid function, thus leading to thyroid cancer but normal thyroid function. At this time, special treatment is generally not required, and regular check-ups are sufficient;

2. No metastasis or spread: If the thyroid cancer is mild, there is no distant metastasis or spread, and it does not invade surrounding tissues and organs, it may not affect the thyroid function, leading to thyroid cancer but normal thyroid function. At this time, the patient can follow the doctor's advice to use drugs such as levothyroxine sodium tablets for treatment;

3. Other situations: If a thyroid cancer patient receives iodine-131 radionuclide therapy after surgery, it may inhibit the secretion of thyroid hormones in the body, causing temporary hypothyroidism. In addition, if the parathyroid glands are damaged during surgery or if hypoparathyroidism occurs after surgery, the above situation may also occur. In such cases, patients can use drugs such as levothyroxine sodium tablets for treatment under the guidance of a doctor.

Patients with thyroid cancer are advised to go to the hospital for treatment in a timely manner, complete relevant examinations under the guidance of doctors, and actively cooperate with doctors for targeted treatment. At the same time, they should pay attention to maintaining good living habits in daily life and avoid staying up late.
