Thyroid nodule examination

If the nodules are very small and are blocked, in addition to ultrasound, they also need to be confirmed after other examinations.

Level 4 judgment index of thyroid nodules:

① Is the nodule boundary clear?

② Is the nodule echo uniform?

③ Is the blood flow rich?

Meeting 1 point is 1 point, which is 4A; 2 points 4B level, 3 points 4C. Level 4A has the possibility of viciousness and needs to be further evaluated.

High -risk thyroid nodules are suitable for surgical treatment

The most commonly used is open surgery. Open surgery is more suitable for patients with a higher degree of malignant nodules and metastasis. If the position of the nodule grows in the hidden place, you can also choose surgical treatment. Open surgery can find the nodules clearer and accurately and remove it.

If the nodules are not very large, it can also be treated with laparoscopic surgery. Hacoscopic surgery has the advantages of non -cutting and incision hidden.

Will the thyroid nodules be inherited?

The genetic rate of thyroid cancer is less than 5%, and there is basically no genetic effect.

Why can iodine 131 treat thyroid cancer?

Some patients with thyroid nodules or patients with thyroid cancer need to be intervened in iodine 131 after surgery.

Iodine is a raw material for thyroxine to form thyroxine. Iodine 131 is radioactive iodine. It will be taken by the thyroid, and then the tissue that ingested it is killed.

After the surgery, you can take some iodine 131 after surgery. You can accurately find and kill the thyroid cancer cells scattered around. This method is suitable for tumors with higher malignant and late stages.
