How to prevent thyroid cancer metastasis? What to do if thyroid cancer metastasis occurs

After suffering from thyroid cancer, surgery should be performed as soon as possible, followed by radionuclide targeted therapy and thyroxine suppression therapy, which can reduce the recurrence and metastasis of thyroid cancer. More attention should also be paid to daily life, such as developing good living habits, insisting on proper exercise, and a reasonable diet, which can also reduce the chance of thyroid cancer metastasis.

Thyroid cancer is prone to metastasis. If it is a less malignant thyroid cancer, it may metastasize to the lymph nodes behind the ear and in the neck; if it is a more malignant thyroid cancer, it may metastasize to the bones, lungs, liver and other parts. Once metastasis occurs, not only will the treatment become more difficult, but the risk of fatality will also increase. So how to prevent thyroid cancer metastasis?
1. Actively treat and prevent thyroid cancer metastasis
1. Early surgical treatment <br/>Once thyroid cancer is diagnosed, surgery can be performed promptly to remove the cancerous lesion, followed by lymph node dissection to reduce residual cancer cells in the body and prevent recurrence and metastasis of thyroid cancer.
2. Radionuclide targeted therapy <br/>Generally, thyroid cancer lesions are relatively small and there are many of them, so surgical resection may still miss some of them. Radionuclide targeted therapy can be used after surgery to prevent cancer cells from infiltrating surrounding organs or metastasizing to lymph nodes.
3. Thyroxine suppression therapy <br/>After the thyroid gland is removed, thyroxine replacement therapy can be used, which can also reduce the recurrence and metastasis of thyroid cancer.
2. Pay more attention to preventing thyroid cancer metastasis in daily life
1. Develop good living habits <br/>If you do not quit smoking and drinking after you have thyroid cancer, and often stay up late, it will lead to an acidic constitution, which will aggravate the condition of thyroid cancer and may cause metastasis. Therefore, if you want to prevent thyroid cancer metastasis, you should pay attention to developing good living habits.
2. Exercise appropriately <br/>After suffering from thyroid cancer, you can perform some physical exercises according to your physical condition to improve your body's disease resistance; in addition, proper exercise helps to sweat, which can excrete toxins from the body, which is helpful for alleviating the condition and can also reduce the chance of thyroid cancer metastasis.
3. Reasonable diet <br/>When thyroid cancer occurs, you must pay attention to a reasonable diet. You can eat more fresh fruits and vegetables and other foods high in vitamins, and protein-rich foods such as milk and eggs to supplement the body with nutrition and improve the body's disease resistance; avoid eating moldy or rotten food to prevent the thyroid cancer from worsening or metastasizing.
