How to do postoperative care for papillary thyroid cancer

How should postoperative care for papillary thyroid cancer be done? Because the causes of thyroid cancer are relatively complex, there are many types of this disease. In order to ensure better treatment, patients must choose the appropriate treatment plan. Papillary thyroid cancer is relatively less harmful and has a greater chance of cure, but it also requires good care.

1. Guide patients to establish a regular lifestyle, ensure good rest and adequate sleep, a proper diet, a proper work and rest schedule, and strive to maintain a balanced mentality.

2. Strengthen outdoor activities, such as walking, jogging, Qigong, Tai Chi, various aerobics, etc., to promote blood circulation, metabolism, enhance immunity, and prevent colds and other respiratory infectious diseases. When participating in activities, you should choose non-competitive projects to avoid unpleasant things.

3. Thyroid cancer is a group of diseases with extremely heterogeneous benign and malignant forms and widely varying prognoses. Therefore, after surgical resection, comprehensive treatment should be actively carried out, and long-term thyroid hormone treatment and biological treatment should be applied as prescribed by the doctor after surgery. Explain to patients and their families that as long as they follow the doctor's advice for treatment, maintain a good mental state, eat a proper diet, have a proper work and rest schedule, and strengthen self-care, most patients can survive for a long time, so that patients can have greater confidence in fighting the disease.

4. For thyroid cancer with high malignancy and poor differentiation, patients should be guided to receive necessary radiotherapy and chemotherapy regularly according to the doctor's advice to prolong life and improve the quality of life. During radiotherapy and chemotherapy, Grifola frondosa D can be used as an auxiliary to reduce the toxic side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy and improve the overall treatment effect.

5. Follow the doctor's advice and have regular follow-up visits. Differentiated thyroid cancer should have regular reexaminations of thyroglobulin and 151I imaging; medullary carcinoma should have regular reexaminations of calcitonin and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). Undifferentiated carcinoma or differentiated carcinoma without iodine affinity should be regularly examined with B-mode ultrasound, CT, MRI or radionuclide thallium (TI) imaging to detect recurrence and metastasis in a timely manner.

6. Strengthen self-observation. Patients should pay close attention to subtle changes in themselves, especially lumps, nodules, pain, hoarseness, difficulty swallowing, and abnormal sensations in other parts of the body in and around the thyroid gland. If any abnormalities are found, seek medical attention in a timely manner.

In life, everyone should pay attention to proper rest. Patients need to rest. At the same time, they should also pay attention to regular check-ups, avoid too much mental stress, and pay attention to participating in some exercise, which will help recovery.
