What is the treatment for mid-stage thyroid cancer

Thyroid cancer is a malignant tumor. If it is in the middle stage, it can generally be treated with surgery, radionuclide iodine-131 therapy, etc. Patients need to choose the appropriate treatment method according to their own situation.

1. Surgical treatment

1. Lobectomy and isthmus resection: This operation mainly removes all the lesion site and surrounding lymphatic tissue, and clears the cervical lymph nodes. This can prevent the disease from further aggravating and reduce the probability of postoperative recurrence.

2. Complete resection: For patients with mid- to late-stage thyroid cancer, there are usually obvious pain symptoms and difficulty swallowing. At this time, complete resection can be performed under the guidance of a doctor, which can effectively relieve the symptoms of discomfort.

2. Radionuclide iodine-131 therapy

Radionuclide iodine-131 therapy is a palliative therapy, which mainly involves injecting a certain amount of radioactive substances into the patient's body to kill cancer cells and prolong the patient's survival time to a certain extent.

In addition, the condition can also be improved through chemotherapy, targeted therapy, etc. In daily life, you should also pay attention to your usual healthy diet and try to eat light foods, such as millet porridge, vegetable soup, etc., but avoid eating spicy and irritating foods, and you should not eat raw, cold and cool foods. In addition, it is recommended that patients go to the hospital for regular checkups to understand their physical recovery.
