thyroid nodules calcification is a disease in the human body. It manifests as normal goiter, nodules form, and then calcification occurs on the basis of the nodules. thyroid is a pair of glands located on both sides of the upper end of the trachea in the front of the human neck. It mainly secretes thyroid hormone , regulating the body's metabolism, and metabolism is closely related to human life. If there is a problem with the thyroid gland, its complications will arise, threatening human health.
thyroid nodules calcified, increasing the probability of cancer
Generally, about 25% of thyroid nodules have calcification shadows, while thyroid cancer has calcification 50%~62.5%. It is generally believed that the larger the calcified particles, the better the differentiation of cancer tissues.
Its calcification shadow characteristics may have the following relationship with cancer classification:
1. Granular calcification is almost shared by thyroid malignant tumors and is often a characteristic manifestation of papillary adenocarcinoma.
2. Among the coarse calcified images, about 10% to 20% of gastric cancers, of which follicular adenocarcinoma accounts for a large proportion.
3. Medullary carcinoma is often mixed with coarse particles and calcifications of sandy particles.
4. Generally, calcification images of benign thyroid tumors are mostly dense with clear edges, while malignant tumors are faint and blurred.
Suggestion:
When thyroid nodules appear, you must go to a regular hospital to check for calcification regularly. Once you find that 's nodules have calcification, you must pay enough attention to it and do not delay the treatment of the disease.
For patients with thyroid nodules found in ultrasound examination, especially tiny calcification or single nodules, surgery should be performed as soon as possible to reduce the possibility of thyroid malignant tumor development.
