The news that Chen Meilin, the biological mother of the victim in the "Chongqing sister and brother falling from a building case", has thyroid cancer was on the hot search yesterday.
On March 20, Chen Meilin released a hospitalization video, saying that he had a thyroid tumor, and accompanied by his friends, he took blood in the hospital, went through the hospitalization procedures, and waited for surgery.
Chen Meilin said that the causes of thyroid disease are largely related to emotions. After the death of her child, she locked herself in her room at home for a long time and did not like to talk. The thyroid disease may be related to her tendency to sulk and the accumulation of sad emotions. Before the case in 2020, Chen Meilin's mother had also undergone surgery for thyroid cancer.
Negative emotions are indeed negative factors for disease
but they are not the direct cause of cancer
"Medical research has confirmed that in addition to heredity, environment, hormone levels, etc., the occurrence of thyroid cancer is also closely related to stress." Zhejiang University of Traditional Chinese Medicine Zhang Shengchu, chief physician of the Department of Nail and Breast Surgery at the Second Affiliated Hospital (Zhejiang Xinhua Hospital), said that although it is unclear whether chronic stress will directly cause cancer, stress can promote the occurrence of thyroid cancer through various mechanisms.
Like Ms. Chen Meilin in this case, she has been affected by negative events for a long time. The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis are dysfunctional, and the body's neuroendocrine function is abnormal, which will continuously induce low-level chronic diseases. inflammation.
"Chronic inflammation may lead to oxidative stress, which is the most serious step in the carcinogenesis process and may be a key risk factor for thyroid cancer." Chief physician Zhang Shengchu said.
In the understanding of traditional Chinese medicine, thyroid disease is called "gall disease". "Long-term anger or worry, the liver qi fails to regulate, qi stagnation and phlegm condense in the front of the neck to form a gall, which is an important reason for the occurrence of gall disease." said Yang Jing, a traditional Chinese medicine doctor in the Department of Oncology of the Provincial Xinhua Hospital. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that Emotional factors play an important role in the pathogenesis of thyroid disease.
When the Qi mechanism is adjusted, Qi and blood can flow smoothly, and the internal organs and organs and orifices can perform normal physiological functions. On the contrary, other diseases will occur. It is said that "all diseases are caused by Qi".
"prefers" women
Body surface "markless" technology allows beauty and health to be achieved simultaneously
In recent years, the incidence rate of thyroid cancer has increased rapidly, and it "prefers" women more, and it is getting younger. Everyone has a love for beauty. After practicing medicine for more than 30 years, Director Zhang Shengchu has seen too many patients who refused surgery due to aesthetic problems and delayed treatment, or who suffered from anxiety and low self-esteem due to surgical scars after surgery.
However, with the advancement of minimally invasive surgical technology, surgery must not only be done well but also be done beautifully.
“Compared with traditional open surgery, the most significant advantage of laparoscopic thyroid surgery is that it leaves no trace on the neck. Especially for transoral endoscopic thyroid surgery, the surgical incision is hidden in the oral mucosa, allowing for completely traceless cosmetic results on the body surface after surgery. The effect is very effective, and the oral mucosa has strong healing ability, with only mild scars or even no scars after recovery." Zhang Shengchu introduced.
Not only that, transoral endoscopic thyroid surgery also has the advantage of a top-down perspective, which can completely dissect the central lymph nodes and avoid the residual lymph nodes in the central area. Because the surgical area is concentrated, there is less tissue separation, the surgery is less invasive, the amount of bleeding is less, and the postoperative recovery is faster.
"As for Chen Meilin's video that the tumor "grew too far behind and stuck to the recurrent laryngeal nerve" and was worried that his voice would be lost after surgery, the risk was very low during transoral endoscopic thyroid surgery." Director Zhang Shengchu The doctor said that because this technique is through the oral approach, it can expose the recurrent laryngeal nerve and parathyroid gland earlier and more definitely, making the doctor's operation more precise and safer, and further reducing the risk of damaging the parathyroid gland and recurrent laryngeal nerve. .
