The hazards of not undergoing surgery for thyroid cancer mainly include affecting the quality of life, worsening of the disease, metastasis to other organs, etc. It is recommended that patients seek medical treatment in time and receive treatment under the guidance of a doctor.

1. Impact on quality of life: Thyroid cancer is a malignant tumor. If it is not treated surgically, it may cause the disease to continue to develop, causing serious impact on the body and even endangering life and health. At this time, the patient needs to actively cooperate with the doctor for surgical treatment, such as total thyroidectomy;

2. Exacerbation of the disease: Thyroid cancer is a common malignant tumor disease. If it is not treated with surgery, it may lead to further aggravation of the disease and even distant metastasis. At this time, the patient needs to receive auxiliary treatment such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy under the guidance of a doctor;

3. Metastasis to other organs: Thyroid cancer is a malignant tumor disease. If it is not treated in time, as the disease progresses, it may cause cancer cells to spread to other parts, such as the lungs and liver. At this time, the patient needs to follow the doctor's advice to improve through targeted drug therapy, radioactive iodine therapy, etc.

4. Other hazards: If thyroid cancer is not treated with surgery in time, the local lesions may continue to grow and compress tissues and organs such as the trachea or esophagus, causing symptoms such as difficulty breathing or swallowing.

Once diagnosed with thyroid cancer, you should seek medical advice from the general surgery or endocrinology department in a timely manner and choose appropriate treatment methods based on your own situation under the guidance of a doctor.
