According to public information, thyroid cancer is the most common malignant thyroid tumor, including papillary carcinoma, follicular carcinoma, undifferentiated carcinoma and medullary carcinoma.
Early symptoms and signs are often absent, and a small thyroid mass is usually detected on physical examination by palpation of the thyroid gland and ultrasound of the neck.
In the late stage, hoarseness, breathing, dysphagia and sympathetic nerve compression can occur, causing Horner syndrome and invasion of the cervical plexus, causing pain in the ear, occipital, shoulder and other places, and regional lymph nodes and distant organ metastases.
Compared with other malignant tumors, the malignancy of thyroid cancer is relatively low, and the overall prognosis is relatively good, but its prognosis is closely related to the pathological classification of thyroid cancer, more than 90% of patients are thyroid papillary cancer, its malignancy is low, early surgical treatment can significantly reduce the probability of recurrence and metastasis.
After hearing the news that Feng Timo was sick and suffering from cancer, netizens said: "Good cultivation, health is the most important", "Early recovery, happiness is the most important", "Thyroid cancer, a blessing in misfortune".
Netizen comments:
So what is thyroid cancer and how can it be prevented?
01What is the thyroid? The thyroid gland is the largest endocrine gland in the human body, the main function is to promote the process of human metabolism and growth and development, but also to improve the excitability of the nervous system, promote appetite, enhance myocardial contractility, and accelerate heart rate. When the thyroid gland is dysfunctional, hyperthyroidism (commonly known as "hyperthyroidism") or hypothyroidism (commonly known as "hypothyroidism") occurs, and specialized treatment should be carried out when it occurs.
02What is thyroid cancer? According to the origin and differentiation of tumors, thyroid cancer is divided into different pathological types, and their pathogenesis, biological behavior, histological morphology, clinical manifestations, treatment methods and prognosis are obviously different.
Among thyroid cancers, papillary thyroid cancer is the most common, accounting for 85%~90% of all thyroid cancers. Papillary thyroid cancer and thyroid follicular carcinoma are also known as differentiated thyroid cancer, such tumors have mild biological behavior and good prognosis, so many people call it "lazy cancer". As the name suggests, "lazy cancer" indicates that this type of tumor has a slow growth rate and slow progression, so it has a high clinical cure rate.
In addition, anaplastic thyroid carcinoma is extremely malignant, and the prognosis of medullary thyroid cancer is between differentiated thyroid cancer and thyroid anaplastic carcinoma. Therefore, timely medical attention after detection of thyroid disease is crucial to determining prognosis.
03How to screen for thyroid cancer? (1) Surgical physical examination: palpation examination of the neck thyroid gland has a certain probability of finding thyroid nodules, but palpation can only find larger nodules, for smaller nodules or need to understand the internal characteristics of nodules, ultrasound examination is required.
(2) Ultrasonography: It is the most commonly used and preferred imaging method for thyroid nodules. Ultrasonography is simple, noninvasive, and inexpensive, and high-resolution ultrasound can detect tiny nodules >2 mm in diameter in the thyroid gland, clearly showing their boundaries, morphology, and internal structure.
Ultrasonography can assess the degree of malignancy of thyroid nodules by reference to the criteria in the table below [1].
Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System (TI-RADS) classification and malignancy risk
Therefore, when the ultrasound report indicates that the nodule is classified in 4 categories or above, or the nodule is large and has corresponding compression symptoms such as hoarseness, dysphagia, etc., or accompanied by hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism, it should be noted that it is necessary to go to the integrated thyroid disease diagnosis and treatment center or gastrointestinal gland surgery or endocrinology outpatient clinic in time, evaluated by a specialist, and further ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration biopsy or contrast ultrasound examination if necessary to exclude thyroid cancer.
It should be reminded that not all thyroid cancers are mild "lazy cancers", so after discovering related problems, timely consultation to clarify the condition and choose the right treatment is the most scientific way to respond.
04What should I pay attention to? Partners with thyroid nodules do not need to be too nervous, keep a comfortable mood, combine work and rest, consider benign nodules can generally be reviewed regularly according to the doctor's advice, if the nodules do not change, do not need to be treated.
Those who have not done thyroid examination should pay attention, "thyroid ultrasound + blood draw to check thyroid function + surgical neck palpation examination" can detect thyroid problems early, remember to have regular physical examination.
Warm reminder: regular physical examination, practice a healthy lifestyle, and be the first responsible person for your own health
