Common dangers of thyroid cancer

1. Timely treatment

If this disease is not treated promptly when it occurs, it can cause serious damage to the body. However, its symptoms are sometimes not very obvious, and there is no pain or itching, nor does it affect people's lives. The course of the disease is also relatively long, and eventually the yin and yang will damage each other, making it a difficult-to-treat disease or even life-threatening.

Second, benign and malignant

Symptoms include difficulty breathing, difficulty swallowing, hoarseness, etc. In addition, benign thyroid cancer has a 10% rate of malignant transformation. Therefore, it should be treated as soon as possible after discovery. Generally, there are two types of thyroid cancers, one is benign and the other is malignant. Usually, the benign type is less serious. Generally, the tumor is small and there are no obvious symptoms. However, if the disease is not treated in time, the tumor will increase in size. Some patients with larger tumors may have symptoms due to the compression of the trachea, esophagus and recurrent laryngeal nerve by the tumor.

3. Malignant thyroid cancer

Malignant thyroid cancer is thyroid cancer, which is more or less the first-time disease. Some patients may have moderate deterioration according to their physical condition. The survival rate of patients after the disease is relatively high (the average 5-year survival rate after surgery is 95%). However, a small number of patients are highly malignant (i.e. undifferentiated cancer), which is seriously life-threatening. Therefore, it should be taken seriously and treated in time.
