Thyroid cancer - the most "gentle" cancer

Gentle ≠ Harmless

As a common malignant tumor of the endocrine system, the incidence of thyroid cancer has shown an increasing trend in most countries and regions around the world in the past two decades.

Among thyroid cancers, papillary thyroid cancer is the most common, accounting for 85%-90% of all thyroid cancers. It grows slowly and has a relatively good prognosis, so it is called "the gentlest cancer" .

Compared with other types of cancer, thyroid cancer develops relatively slowly and is less malignant. And early detection and treatment can usually achieve better results, and the survival rate of patients is relatively high. The vast majority of patients will not have their life span affected by nail cancer.

However, this does not mean that all types of thyroid cancer are so mild, nor does it mean that their potential threats can be ignored.

First of all, cancer is cancer. Any cancer is an abnormal proliferation of body cells and will cause damage to the body. Thyroid cancer is no exception and can invade surrounding tissue and even spread to other parts of the body through the lymphatic or blood systems.

Secondly, the treatment of thyroid cancer may involve surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, etc. These treatments may bring certain side effects and pain.

Common symptoms of thyroid cancer

Neck mass

Neck mass is one of the most common early symptoms of thyroid cancer. When you find an unexplained lump on the front of your neck, don’t take it lightly. The lump may be firm, with unclear borders, and may not move up and down with swallowing. If you touch it with your hands, you may feel pain or discomfort. A lump does not necessarily mean thyroid cancer, but prompt medical attention is needed to rule out the possibility of thyroid cancer.

Swollen cervical lymph nodes

When thyroid cancer occurs, cancer cells may spread to the lymph nodes in the neck through the lymphatic system, causing the lymph nodes to swell.

It is usually painless but can be felt by touching the neck.If you find that the lymph nodes in your neck suddenly swell, or if multiple lymph nodes enlarge at the same time, it is recommended to seek medical treatment in time.

Hoarse voice

When thyroid cancer invades the recurrent laryngeal nerve, it will cause limited movement of the vocal cords, thereby affecting vocalization. This hoarseness usually persists and gets progressively worse.

Therefore, if you find that your voice suddenly becomes hoarse, or cannot recover for a long time, and there is no inflammation such as pharyngitis, you need to consider the possibility of thyroid cancer.

Dyspnea

Dyspnea is one of the more serious symptoms of thyroid cancer. When thyroid cancer progresses to a certain extent, it may compress the trachea or esophagus, causing difficulty breathing or swallowing. This kind of dyspnea usually manifests as shortness of breath, wheezing, coughing and other symptoms, and in severe cases, it may even cause suffocation.

If you find yourself having difficulty breathing or feeling short of breath while doing daily activities, you need to seek medical attention immediately to avoid delaying your condition.

Although thyroid cancer is called "the most gentle cancer", it does not mean that it should be taken lightly. Early detection and treatment of thyroid cancer can significantly improve patient survival rates and treatment effects.

If the diagnosis is delayed, even if it does not affect life span, it will affect the quality of life. Early detection and early treatment are recommended!
