1. Treatment of anaplastic thyroid cancer <br/>Common treatments in the clinic include chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery. Some patients with mild symptoms can also control the progression of the disease by taking Chinese medicine. Relevant studies have found that this disease can be controlled by taking medication. Doctors will prescribe some drugs that can induce apoptosis of cancer cells. This drug can also control and regulate the cell cycle, help enhance the body's unique anti-cancer activity, and help patients improve their own immunity, so that the metastasis and reproduction of anaplastic thyroid cancer cells can be prevented.
2. Clinical manifestations and pathological changes of anaplastic thyroid cancer <br/>Anaplastic thyroid cancer generally has symptoms of long-term thyroid enlargement. If you suffer from this disease, the thyroid gland will rapidly increase in a short period of time, and will also produce local compression symptoms. Most patients will experience difficulty breathing and swallowing. Some patients will also experience hoarseness or jugular vein distension. This situation is mainly caused by the tumor gradually compressing the trachea.
Patients with anaplastic thyroid cancer often feel pain in the neck and can feel a clear lump with unclear boundaries. With the naked eye, it is obvious that the patient has a large lump in the neck. After the onset of the disease, the lump will appear irregular, without a capsule, and often accompanied by bleeding symptoms.
Generally speaking, most patients with anaplastic thyroid cancer are over 40 years old, and more often female patients. This disease grows quickly and will infiltrate or metastasize in the early stages, so patients should be highly vigilant. This disease is highly malignant and has a poor prognosis.
