What are the conditions for not having surgery for thyroid cancer

The conditions for not undergoing surgery for thyroid cancer mainly include the absence of serious malignant lesions in the thyroid gland, after total thyroidectomy, after subtotal thyroidectomy, and special circumstances.

1. No serious malignant lesions in the thyroid gland: Thyroid cancer patients can improve their survival rate by not undergoing surgery. The main treatment method is surgical resection, including total thyroidectomy and thyroid lobectomy. The appropriate surgical method should be selected according to the patient's specific condition.

2. After total thyroidectomy: For patients with thyroid cancer, total thyroidectomy should be performed to achieve the therapeutic effect and avoid tumor metastasis and recurrence;

3. After subtotal thyroidectomy: For patients with thyroid cancer, if there is lymph node metastasis and the tumor invades surrounding organs, radioactive isotope iodine-131 treatment is also required after total or subtotal thyroidectomy to improve the cure rate;

4. Special circumstances: If the patient cannot tolerate surgery or is unwilling to undergo surgery, such as patients with severe functional damage to the heart, lungs, liver, kidneys and other organs, relatively conservative treatment methods such as radiotherapy and chemotherapy can also be adopted.

For patients with advanced thyroid cancer, since their organs are invaded and surgery is not possible, conservative treatment can be adopted to prolong survival time through radiotherapy and chemotherapy. For patients with thyroid cancer, early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment should be adopted. At the same time, attention should be paid to adjusting the diet structure and eating more iodine-rich foods, such as seaweed and kelp. Pay attention to keeping a happy mood, avoid excessive stress and mental tension, and do things that interest you to relax your mood.
