Wang Nan cancer treatment method?

summary

Wang Nan, China's table tennis champion, has been diagnosed with thyroid cancer in preparation for the Beijing Olympic Games. Fortunately, Wang Nan was cured before taking part in the Beijing Olympic Games. Thyroid adenocarcinoma is the most common thyroid malignant tumor, accounting for about 1% of the total malignant tumors, including papillary carcinoma, follicular carcinoma, undifferentiated carcinoma and medullary carcinoma. Papillary carcinoma with low malignancy and good prognosis is the most common. Except medullary carcinoma, most thyroid carcinoma originated from follicular epithelial cells. The disease can occur at any age, but most of them are young adults. The vast majority of thyroid cancer occurs in one side of the thyroid gland lobe, often a single tumor. Let me talk about Wang Nan's cancer treatment

Wang Nan cancer treatment method?

Surgical treatment of thyroid cancer is the main treatment method, including the operation of thyroid itself and neck lymph node dissection. No matter what the pathological type is, surgical resection should be performed as long as there is surgical indication. For well differentiated papillary carcinoma or follicular carcinoma, reoperation can be performed even in patients with local recurrence. The range of thyroidectomy is related to the pathological type and stage of the tumor. The minimum range is lobectomy plus isthmus resection, and the maximum range is total thyroidectomy.

Thyroxine tablets were taken for life after thyroidectomy to prevent hypothyroidism and inhibit TSH. Both papillary adenocarcinoma and follicular adenocarcinoma have TSH receptors, through which TSH can affect the growth of thyroid carcinoma. In China, we usually use dry thyroid tablets or levothyroxine, and regularly measure the levels of T4 and TSH in plasma to adjust the dosage, so as to maintain the thyroid hormone in the body at a level slightly higher than normal but lower than hyperthyroidism.

Age is the key factor affecting the prognosis of papillary carcinoma and follicular carcinoma. Wang Nan is still young, so the prognosis is good. Of course, the recurrence rate and mortality rate of thyroid cancer increase with age.

matters needing attention

It is better to have a light diet after thyroid cancer surgery, because a light diet is not easy to stimulate the patient's intestines and stomach, and helps the patient digest.
