What does Tg value mean for unilateral resection of thyroid cancer

The Tg value of unilateral thyroidectomy for thyroid cancer usually refers to the value of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) in the body of patients with thyroid cancer after unilateral thyroidectomy. In general, it is recommended that patients with thyroid cancer have their TSH levels checked regularly after surgery to determine whether there is a recurrence.

Thyroid cancer is a malignant tumor, and its cause is related to genetics, iodine deficiency and other factors. Clinically, it mainly manifests as neck lumps, hoarseness and other symptoms. For patients with early thyroid cancer, if there is no distant metastasis, it can be treated by surgery, such as unilateral thyroidectomy. After the operation, it is necessary to follow the doctor's advice to use drugs such as levothyroxine sodium tablets for treatment, and the TSH level needs to be checked regularly.

Since thyroid cancer has a certain risk of recurrence, it is recommended that patients have their TSH levels checked every six months after surgery. If the TSH level continues to rise, it indicates a risk of recurrence. At this time, it is recommended that patients seek medical treatment in a timely manner and receive treatment with radioactive nuclide iodine-131 and other methods under the guidance of a doctor.

Patients are advised to maintain good living habits in their daily lives, avoid overwork and staying up late, etc. At the same time, they also need to maintain a good emotional state and avoid excessive tension, anxiety and other negative emotions.
