What are the causes of thyroid cancer? How to treat thyroid cancer

The incidence of thyroid cancer has been higher in recent years, which has also attracted everyone's attention. If you want to take preventive measures, you should first understand the causes. Many of the causes may be related to ionizing radiation, iodine deficiency, or genetic factors. No matter what the cause is, you should receive treatment as soon as possible.

Nowadays, all kinds of people will suffer from diseases. The most common disease is thyroid cancer, which can actually cause harm to personal health. Therefore, it is necessary to receive treatment as soon as possible. At the same time, it is also necessary to focus on prevention. Therefore, before prevention, it is also necessary to know the cause of thyroid cancer.

1. Ionizing Radiation

Everyone knows that X-rays are very carcinogenic. After being radiated into the human body, these rays will cause cell mutations, and the mutated cancer cells will continue to grow, and will also kill some normal cells. In addition, X-rays will also cause the thyroid gland to gradually reduce secretion, promote the deterioration of malignant cells, and finally cause cancer.

2. Lack of iodine

The occurrence of thyroid cancer is directly related to iodine deficiency in the human body. Experts have also done research and found that if a person has a goiter in a certain part of the body, it is very likely to cause thyroid cancer. Therefore, we must pay attention to it in our lives. If there is iodine deficiency, we must receive treatment as soon as possible.

3. Genetic factors

In fact, many diseases nowadays may have genetic factors and are more likely to be passed on to the next generation. The same is true for thyroid cancer. If someone in the family has thyroid cancer, then other people will also have a certain chance. If the blood relationship is closer, the chance of developing thyroid cancer may be higher.

4. Other physical diseases

In fact, when people are sick, they do not immediately develop thyroid cancer in a short period of time. There may be other diseases before that. For example, there may be thyroid hyperplasia or functional hyperthyroidism. If these diseases are not well controlled and further deteriorate, they are likely to turn into thyroid cancer. If a person already has a thyroid tumor and it is not well controlled, then it is very likely to become cancerous and may even cause complications.
