Speaking of thyroid disease Everyone’s first reaction is definitely “big neck disease”. thyroid is located in the neck of our human body and is a very important endocrine organ in the human body. It is shaped like a butterfly, like a Dunjia, so it is called the thyroid gland. The cancer rate of the thyroid gland is also very high, but many people call it "the kindest cancer." Today I will take you to learn about this "the gentlest cancer". Why is
known as the most gentle love?
That's because thyroid cancer has low malignancy, slow development, and high survival rate. It is not as ambitious as other cancer cells, and 80 to 90% of patients with thyroid cancer can live for 20 years. Here, Dr. Xiaoxiong wants to tell everyone that no matter how gentle it is, it is "cancer", and early symptoms cannot be ignored!
What are the symptoms of thyroid cancer?
Mass
Generally, thyroid cancer occurs more frequently in children and middle-aged women. More than 95% of patients have preneoplasty lumps, especially isolated, irregular, and poorly motile hard tumors, which should be highly vigilant.
hoarseness
Thyroid cancer patients in the early stages because the thyroid tumor continues to enlarge and compress the recurrent laryngeal nerve, causing hoarseness or choking while drinking water.
Difficulty breathing
As the tumor continues to develop, patients with thyroid cancer can gradually compress the adjacent nerves, trachea or esophagus. When the tumor increases and compresses the cervical sympathetic nerve, the patient will develop Horna syndrome. When the superficial branch nerve is compressed, the patient will suffer from pain in the ears, shoulders and other parts.
lymph node swelling
The continuous enlargement of the lump can invade the neck lymph nodes, resulting in swelling of the neck lymph nodes accompanied by swelling of the neck lymph nodes .
When the above four symptoms occur, go to the hospital for examination in time to avoid delaying the condition. Speaking of this, many people ask, will thyroid nodule definitely become cancerous?
Here I want to tell you that thyroid nodules refers to a lump growing in the thyroid gland. It is one of the common manifestations of thyroid diseases, not a specific disease. In fact, only about 5% to 15% of thyroid nodules are malignant thyroid cancer, and the rest are benign, and asymptomatic nodules can be checked regularly.
Thyroid cancer is the most gentle cancer in the world. Many people can survive with cancer for many years, but it does not mean that it is not harmful. You should pay special attention to its early symptoms in daily life!
