What are the symptoms of thyroid cancer recurrence

We may have all heard of thyroid diseases. Once the disease occurs, it will be seriously harmful. We need to actively treat and care for this disease so that patients can recover better. In order to better help patients, here are some symptoms of recurrence of thyroid cancer.

The discovery of a lump in the thyroid gland, which is hard and fixed in texture and has an uneven surface, is a common manifestation of all types of cancer. The gland has little mobility when swallowing. Undifferentiated cancer may cause the above symptoms in a short period of time. In addition to the obvious growth of the lump, it is also accompanied by the characteristics of invading surrounding tissues. In the late stage, hoarseness, breathing and swallowing difficulties, sympathetic nerve compression causing Horner syndrome, and invasion of the cervical plexus causing ear, occipital, shoulder pain, and local lymph node and distant organ metastasis may occur.

Cervical lymph node metastasis occurs earlier than undifferentiated carcinoma. Some patients have no obvious thyroid tumors. When they seek medical treatment because of the discovery of metastatic lesions, the possibility of thyroid cancer should be considered. The possibility of type II multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome should be ruled out in patients with medullary carcinoma. Attention should be paid to patients with a combined family history and the presence of diarrhea, facial flushing, and hypocalcemia.

Clinical manifestations:

Thyroid cancer is characterized by a hard and uneven lump in the thyroid gland of the neck. There are usually no subjective symptoms. The neck lump is often an asymmetric lump. The thyroid nodule may gradually increase in size, move up and down with swallowing, and may invade the trachea and become fixed. The lump is prone to compression symptoms early on, such as hoarseness, shortness of breath, dysphagia, or local tenderness. When the jugular vein is compressed, signs such as venous distension and facial edema on the affected side may occur, which is one of the characteristics of thyroid cancer. If the jugular vein is compressed, the jugular vein may become distended and the face may edema, which is one of the characteristics of thyroid cancer. If the jugular vein is compressed, the jugular vein may become distended and the face may become edematous, which is a characteristic of thyroid cancer. If the jugular vein is affected, the thyroid gland should be carefully examined. Hypothyroidism is common in the late stage.

Through the editor's narration, we have also learned about the symptoms of recurrence of thyroid cancer. We hope that by understanding these symptoms, people will be able to detect and treat thyroid diseases early in the future, and not miss the best time for treatment, so that every patient with thyroid disease can recover as soon as possible.
