Dietary care after thyroid cancer surgery

6. The diet structure should be reasonable. The diet for cancer patients should be as light as possible and combine high nutrition and high quality, soft and easy to digest and rich in vitamins, fresh and with cold, hot, warm and neutral tastes, and the total amount supplied should be combined with the cold, hot, deficiency and excess symptoms of the patient's internal organs.
