Various types of thyroid cancer, the clinical manifestations and prognosis vary greatly, they differentiated thyroid cancer, the patient's gender and age also have a huge impact on prognosis.
[Diagnosis]
1, thyroid or inadvertently block the majority of the census found that the rate of growth faster, and some patients had a hoarse voice or breathing and swallowing difficulties, there are thyroid mass was not obvious and the first cervical lymph nodes were found. Inspection, the less clear the boundary mass, surface uneven, quality hardware, the activity of small or completely fixed, neck, swollen lymph nodes often palpable. Medullary carcinoma was about 15% of cases of familial sexual orientation may be associated with adrenal pheochromocytoma and parathyroid tumor of the endocrine system such as a new bio.
2, B super-useful for diagnosing. Radionuclide scan, then the majority of thyroid cancer manifested as \ "cold nodule \."
3, serum calcitonin measurement for early diagnosis of medullary thyroid carcinoma has a very important value, measured by radioimmunoassay, the patient mostly in the 0.2μg / L (200pg/ml) or more.
4, the final diagnosis should rely on the frozen section biopsy or wax
