Patient's question:
My grandmother is 71 years old this year. Recently, her physical condition has deteriorated rapidly. Her slightly overweight body has become thin. We took her to the hospital, but unexpectedly, she was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. The doctor said she was already in the late stage. Doctor, what kind of medicine should be taken for thyroid cancer?Doctor's answer:
Thyroid cancer is a common malignant disease in clinical oncology. Compared to other cancers, the progression of the disease is relatively slow. If it is advanced thyroid cancer, it indicates that the condition is already very serious, posing a significant threat to the patient's life safety. It is necessary to promptly seek follow-up treatment in the oncology department of a regular public hospital. Specialized doctors will determine the appropriate palliative plan based on the actual condition. If surgery is necessary, it can be performed; if not, radiotherapy or chemotherapy can be used.
