Diagnosis of early symptoms of thyroid cancer

Most thyroid cancer patients are not diagnosed until the late stage, and it is difficult to diagnose in the early stage. Many patients can't help but ask, why can't thyroid cancer be diagnosed in the early stage? What are the symptoms of early thyroid cancer? We can rely on self-examination of symptoms and go to the hospital for examination in time, so today we will talk to you about the diagnosis of early symptoms of thyroid cancer.

The early symptoms of thyroid cancer can be discovered. If it is discovered and treated early, thyroid cancer can be easily cured. Let's take a look at the early symptoms and diagnosis methods of thyroid cancer:

1. In addition to the tumor, there are also the following symptoms: the patient has hoarseness or choking when drinking water; difficulty breathing or swallowing, radiating pain in the ears, pillow, and shoulders, compression and dilation of the neck veins or the appearance of palpebral fissures, pupil constriction, ipsilateral or bilateral lymph node enlargement, etc.

2. Perform needle aspiration cytology. This method is one of the most reliable diagnostic methods for thyroid cancer, with an accuracy rate of more than 80%. Rapid frozen section examination during surgery is a key diagnostic method for thyroid cancer, with an accuracy rate of nearly 90%. Paraffin section pathology examination is the most ideal diagnostic measure for thyroid cancer, with an accuracy rate of 100%.

3. Children and women over 40 years old are more likely to be affected, with a male-to-female ratio of 1:2.4. There are no characteristic clinical manifestations in the early stage, but more than 95% of patients have a mass (or tumor) in the front of the neck, especially isolated, irregular, unclear, and poorly active hard tumors, which should be particularly vigilant.

4. B-ultrasound and isotope scanning of the thyroid gland in the neck, etc.

The above introduces the early true symptoms and diagnosis methods of thyroid cancer. I hope it can help everyone. I also hope that all thyroid cancer patients can detect the disease early and cure thyroid cancer as soon as possible.
