What is the reason why thyroid cancer cannot be operated on

The reasons why surgery is not recommended for thyroid cancer generally include poor physical condition of the patient, advanced stage of the tumor, distant metastasis, etc. If the patient has other diseases, such as heart disease, high blood pressure, etc., surgery is also not recommended, because the condition may be aggravated during the operation.

1. The patient is in poor physical condition: If the patient's cardiopulmonary function, liver and kidney function, etc. are not good, accidents may occur during the operation, causing the patient's life to be in danger, so surgery is not recommended. If the patient has severe distant metastasis, such as liver metastasis, lung metastasis, etc., the operation may damage the patient's organs, and surgery is also not recommended;

2. The tumor is in the late stage: The tumor of advanced thyroid cancer is huge, and it is difficult to remove it surgically. It is also easy to relapse after surgery, so surgical treatment is not recommended, unless the patient undergoes other treatments such as molecular targeted therapy, which can reduce the stage of the tumor and allow surgery;

3. Distant metastasis: Thyroid cancer is a malignant tumor of the thyroid gland. If distant metastasis occurs, surgery is generally ineffective, so surgical treatment is not recommended. In addition to surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and other methods can also be used for treatment;

4. Concurrent diseases: If the patient has coronary heart disease, hypertension, diabetes and other diseases, the condition may be aggravated due to accidents such as heart and blood vessels during surgery, so surgery is not recommended.

In addition to the above situations, if the patient does not have surgical indications, such as the patient cannot tolerate surgery, or the patient's thyroid cancer is in the late stage of malignancy, surgical treatment is not recommended. The patient needs to undergo relevant examinations and choose a suitable treatment plan after evaluation by a doctor. It is recommended that patients with thyroid cancer actively receive treatment after clarifying their own conditions. If surgical treatment is required, they should choose a regular hospital and choose a suitable surgical method under the guidance of a doctor.
