Will thyroid cancer recur after surgery?

Patients who have undergone thyroid cancer surgery may have a recurrence. Thyroid cancer is a malignant tumor and requires regular follow-up and standardized treatment after surgery to reduce the probability of recurrence.

1. No recurrence: If the diseased tissue is removed cleanly during thyroid cancer surgery and there is no spread, it will generally not recur. Patients are advised to follow the doctor's advice and take medication on time. They should also pay attention to a healthy diet and avoid eating spicy foods, such as chili peppers and peppercorns, so as not to affect recovery.

2. Recurrence: However, if the cancer cells remain due to improper operation by the doctor or the poor physical condition of the patient during thyroid cancer surgery, recurrence may occur. At this time, the patient can use chemotherapy such as paclitaxel injection and cisplatin injection under the guidance of a doctor to assist in controlling the disease. If necessary, combined treatment such as radiotherapy can be used to inhibit the growth and development of cancer cells, thereby prolonging the patient's survival time.

In addition, you should pay attention to rest in your daily life, get enough sleep, and avoid staying up late. At the same time, you should also participate in outdoor sports appropriately, which can enhance your own resistance and help prevent the occurrence of diseases. If you feel obvious discomfort during this period, you need to seek medical treatment in time to avoid delaying the disease.
