Through this article, friends will have a certain understanding and knowledge of thyroid cancer.

Thyroid cancer is a common malignant tumor of the thyroid gland. The prevalence rate is also very high. Thyroid cancer is a thyroid disease that gradually develops into a malignant tumor. Patients with thyroid cancer do not have obvious physical discomfort in the early stages of the disease. Slowly, there will be some physical changes, and patients will feel a series of symptoms such as local pressure, difficulty breathing, hoarseness, and difficulty swallowing. Surgery is the best treatment for thyroid cancer. If the surgery is performed in the early stages of the disease, the tumor is completely removed, and Chinese medicine can be used for consolidation treatment after the surgery to prevent recurrence and metastasis. If the patient does not undergo surgery in the early stages of the disease, systemic chemotherapy is required after the surgery. The purpose of chemotherapy is to better remove some residual or metastatic cancer cells. Postoperative chemotherapy is also used to prevent the recurrence of thyroid cancer.

Cancer is no longer a rare disease for modern people. However, it still makes people feel afraid and panic. For thyroid cancer, if it is discovered and treated in time, chemotherapy is not required after surgery. However, if it is not an early surgery, chemotherapy is required after surgery. Although chemotherapy is a very painful and difficult process, patients still have to face it bravely and persevere. Whether chemotherapy is needed after thyroid cancer surgery depends on the patient's condition and the effect of the surgery. Patients are advised to follow the doctor's diagnosis and advice.
