Matters needing attention in patients with thyroid cancer after treatment:
1. To guide patients to establish a regular lifestyle, we must ensure good rest and adequate sleep, reasonable diet, reasonable work and rest, and strive to maintain psychological balance.
2. Strengthen outdoor activities, such as walking, jogging, Qigong, Tai Ji Chuan, various aerobics, etc. In order to promote human blood circulation, promote metabolism, enhance human immunity and prevent respiratory infectious diseases such as colds. Attention should be paid to choosing non-competitive projects during activities to avoid unpleasant things.
3. Thyroid cancer is a very heterogeneous group of benign and malignant diseases, and the prognosis will be very different. Therefore, comprehensive treatment should be actively carried out after surgical resection to explain to patients and their families that most patients can survive for a long time as long as they follow the doctor's advice, maintain a good psychological state, eat reasonably and strengthen self-care, thus enhancing their confidence in fighting the disease.
4. For undifferentiated or poorly differentiated thyroid cancer with high malignant degree, regular radiotherapy and chemotherapy should be guided according to doctor's advice to prolong life and improve quality of life. During radiotherapy and chemotherapy, it can help Chinese medicine to reduce the adverse reactions of radiotherapy and chemotherapy and improve the overall treatment effect.
5. Follow the doctor's advice for regular follow-up. Thyroglobulin and 15 1I imaging should be reviewed regularly in differentiated thyroid cancer. Medullary carcinoma should be reexamined regularly with calcitonin and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). Undifferentiated cancer or differentiated cancer without iodophor should be examined by B-ultrasound, CT, MRI or thallium (TI) imaging regularly in order to find recurrence and metastasis in time.
6. To strengthen self-observation, patients should pay close attention to their own subtle changes, especially lumps, nodules, pain, hoarseness, dysphagia and abnormal feelings in the thyroid region and other parts of the body around them. If they find anything unusual, they should seek medical advice in time.
