Original Health 160 Shenzhen
Did everyone brush the hot search for the advanced thyroid cancer in Ti mo Feng a few days ago? She disappeared for half a year to have an operation, and now she has recovered.
Just when Xiaobian saw this hot search, I couldn’t help but feel awkward. Thyroid cancer? Isn’t it TOP1 in the list of new malignant tumors in Shenzhen in 2022, which was released not long ago?
This can’t be a good science popularization while it’s hot, and give our workers in Shenzhen a "shot in the arm"!
Let’s talk about the thyroid gland first. It is the largest endocrine gland in the human body, that is, the reddish-brown gland under the thyroid cartilage of our neck and on both sides of the organ, which looks like a butterfly.
Thyroxine secreted by it can regulate body metabolism, growth rate, sensitivity to other hormones, etc., and its range of action is almost all over the body. It is one of the most important hormones in the human body.
If thyroxine is too high, it will increase the load of various organs of the body, and there will be symptoms similar to fear of heat, persistent irritability, and rapid heartbeat. Moreover, in the state of eating a lot, the body shape will still not increase or even decrease.
On the other hand, if thyroxine is too low, the metabolic efficiency of the body will also decrease, and then there will be cold, fatigue, obesity, edema, constipation and so on.
Whether it is too high or too low, this unbalanced state has deviated from health. Ignoring it will easily lead to other problems in the body, and the worst situation in everyone’s cognition is thyroid cancer.
It is actually a relatively complicated process from physical problems to the development of thyroid cancer, and there are many closely related factors.
First of all, genetic factors are hard to avoid. If the immediate family members have thyroid diseases, the chances of the offspring getting sick will be three times higher than other people.
Take the past data of medullary thyroid cancer as an example, 5%-10% of patients have obvious family genetic history.
From the external factors, exposure to radiation as a child, long-term exposure to high pressure and tension, iodine deficiency and excessive intake of iodine are the major causes of thyroid cancer.
Our thyroid gland is sensitive to ionizing radiation, so interventional doctors will wear lead clothes and scarves to protect their trunks when working in a radiation environment.
In childhood, I received CT and X-ray radiation, and when I was not as strong as an adult, I was exposed to radiation, which would also cause some irritation to the thyroid gland.
It is also often heard that iodine deficiency will lead to "big neck disease", and goiter caused by iodine deficiency naturally has more obvious cancer risk than normal thyroid.
Coupled with the increasing social pressure, many people are basically in a state of nervous tension and emotional depression for a long time, which will easily lead to endocrine disorders in the long run and become a fuse for thyroid nodules and cancer.
At this point, many people "talk about the color change of nodules", but will thyroid nodules become fatal after they become thyroid cancer?
That may not be true.
Nowadays, science and technology are more and more developed, and the detection methods are more advanced and accurate. There is also a certain probability that the number of people diagnosed will increase on a large scale because of this.
Contrary to the rising speed of diagnosis, it is the development speed of thyroid cancer, which can be called tortoise speed.
The survival rate of patients with thyroid cancer is also much higher. The 5-year survival rate is basically at least 90%, and there are not a few people who have survived for 20 or 30 years. According to the doctor’s diagnosis, there is no big difference between their lives and ordinary people.
Apart from some genetic factors such as low immunity and hard resistance, many patients with thyroid cancer are not paid attention to at the initial stage of the disease, and only then will malignant factors lurk in the body waiting for the outbreak.
Take thyroid nodules as an example, the probability of benign is as high as 95%, and the size of the nodules is not necessarily proportional to the probability of canceration. The key point is whether the nodules are malignant or not, and whether they are properly intervened in time.
Xiaobian also sorted out some points that need attention. If the following results appear in everyone’s color ultrasound report, remember to focus on it:
① The thyroid border is unclear.
Tuyuan network
Illegitimate thyroid is a kind of nodule, which can indicate that the nodule is relatively active, but it is not necessarily equivalent to malignant nodule, and it needs to be judged according to further examination.
② Calcification of thyroid nodules
Tuyuan network
The report suggests that if the nodule presents sand-like calcification, it is also necessary to be alert to whether it is malignant, because about 80% of malignant tumors have calcification, which is a very important indicator.
③ Cystic solid nodules
Tuyuan network
Generally speaking, larger cystic-solid nodules need to be treated by surgery to avoid further oppression and malignant transformation, while smaller ones do not need surgical treatment, and most of them are benign.
In addition, many people are curious why this "lazy cancer" always targets women, and the incidence rate is three times that of men.
This is because female estrogen can affect the growth of thyroid nodules, and on this basis, some nodules become malignant and develop into thyroid cancer, so the large base leads to an overwhelming quantitative difference, which is not as mysterious as rumors.
Through the previous explanation, we can find that thyroid problems do not necessarily turn into cancer, and the cure and survival rate of cancer are relatively high, but we still have to pay attention to health.
Therefore, when other thyroid problems occur in the early stage, early treatment can kill thyroid cancer in the cradle to a great extent.
If you find these signs in your body, you should be alert:
Of course, these symptoms do not directly point to the thyroid problem, but when the thyroid is in a temper, there will be some corresponding symptoms. What we can do is to strengthen our body and take precautions every day.
① Preliminary registration inspection
If you have doubts about your thyroid health, you can go to departments such as endocrinology and thyroid, and you can also consult in detail if you need a doctor’s check and report analysis, so you don’t have to guess at random.

② Blood test
Blood sampling can help you understand the relevant indicators, such as three basic examinations and five examinations. The more items, the more comprehensive. If it is only a basic health screening, it is enough to choose three items.
③ Color Doppler ultrasound examination
If you want to confirm whether there are thyroid nodules, color Doppler ultrasound examination is the most intuitive and clear, and the size and echo can be known at a glance.
4 It is best to develop regular living habits every day, try to maintain a happy mood or learn to solve it, and properly supplement/avoid foods rich in iodine according to the system.
That’s the end of today’s popular science. In short, whether it’s hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, nodules or canceration, seeking help from regular hospital doctors and cooperating with treatment is the fastest way to embrace health.
The facts also show that most patients are relatively optimistic. If they are sick, they must first maintain a positive attitude for treatment, and then they should eat and drink, and don’t take things to heart. If you are unhappy and don’t understand, just come to the comment area to chat with Xiaobian.
