How much TSH can be controlled by unilateral resection of thyroid cancer

Thyroid cancer is a malignant tumor that originates from the thyroid follicular epithelium or parafollicular cells. There is no clear range for how much TSH value should be controlled after unilateral resection of thyroid cancer patients. It is generally recommended to control it within 4-6 months. The treatment of thyroid cancer patients includes surgery, radionuclide therapy, endocrine therapy and external radiation exposure, etc. TSH suppression therapy is often required after surgery.

1. Surgery: It is an important method for treating thyroid cancer. Most thyroid cancer patients can undergo surgical treatment. After surgical treatment, the TSH suppression effect of thyroid cancer patients is better, about 4-6 months. If TSH suppression treatment is given after surgery to keep the patient's thyroid hormone level within the normal range, it can prevent the recurrence of thyroid cancer and help the patient's prognosis better;

2. Radionuclide therapy: Radionuclide therapy can be used to treat thyroid cancer tissues, which absorb iodine-131 and then differentiate it into radionuclides with low or high absorption rates, so as to kill cancer cells. This can help thyroid cancer patients get a better survival time and control the development of the disease.

3. Endocrine and external radiotherapy: For patients after thyroid cancer surgery, if the TSH suppression effect is not good or the patient is older, endocrine and external radiotherapy can also be chosen to control the development of cancer.

For patients with advanced thyroid cancer, palliative surgery, tumor reduction surgery and other treatments can be chosen. Thyroid cancer patients should pay attention to adjusting their diet structure, increase the intake of fresh vegetables and fruits, and appropriately consume iodine-containing foods such as kelp and seaweed. Avoid greasy, spicy and irritating foods, quit smoking and drinking. They should also pay attention to rest, avoid staying up late, and ensure adequate sleep to promote disease recovery.
