This type of cancer has ravaged THYROID gland. THYROID gland should be noted that there is a part of the front of the neck of a man with two sections (lobes) one on each side of the neck.
Causes and size problem
THYROID cancer occurs in people of all ages, from children to adults. People who have never beaten radiation front part of the neck are at higher risk of getting this type of cancer. Likewise, adults who had never beaten radiation during childhood and they also have a greater risk of getting cancer THYROID even if they never get the problem when they grow up.
Radiation therapy areas of the neck was used widely in the past 50 to 60 years for the treatment of tumours of the thymus gland, tonsils, or some skin diseases. However it is very rare for this therapy used in this era.
Other risks of THYROID thyroid cancer include a history of the existence of this problem among families and have lived long Goitre untreated.
Types of cancers of the thyroid gland THYROID
- Depending on the type of cells that form attacked THYROID gland, THYROID cancer can be divided into the following types:
- professional type known as papillary carcinoma. This is the type most popular among people with cancer of the thyroid gland THYROID. Typically, this type occurs in most women of childbearing age. This type spreads very slowly and does not do much harm to the patient compared to other types of cancer of the thyroid gland THYROID.
- Another type is that known by the name of follicular carcinoma. This species occurs in almost 10 percent of people who get cancer THYROID. Follicular carncinoma tend to get lost but also have the ability to return to the patient and then spread rapidly.
- The third type is the plastic known as a carcinoma. This type, although it is rarely seen among patients with cancer THYROID, that's kind of the most dangerous among all types of cancer THYROID. Anaplastic carcinoma spreads with great speed and can not be cured with therapy mining nuclei of Iodine.
- Another type is called medullary carcinoma. This is a type of cancer THYROID that occur in cells that are not of the gland THYROID but exist within the gland (there are some cells that are not of the gland THYROID but are available and live within the gland THYROID, like the stranger who lives in the house without it). This species occurs in more families and researchers have attributed to genetic changes (genetic mutations), and in general its treatment vary widely from those of other types of cancer THYROID.
indications
Symptoms vary depending on the type of cancer, although generally may include:
• cough
• Trouble when swallowing food, beverages even mate
• Swollen glands THYROID
• Changes in voice, voice fade or be scratches
• Swelling in the neck
• gland THYROID have humps or bumps
Measurements and observations
The patient who is suspected of having cancer THYROID undergo physical examination before undergoing several tests to satisfy himself that it really has the problem of cancer THYROID. Physical examination can show the presence of a protuberance or swelling in THYROID and / groin swollen glands in the neck.
Tests include:
• Ultrasound gland THYROID
• Cut the part of the investigating laboratory THYROID (THYROID biopsy)
• Photos of the functioning of the thyroid gland THYROID (THYROID scan)
• Examination of the inner part of the throat (laryngoscopy)
• Blood tests to detect the level of the hormone calcitonin. If the rate will be higher than normal, this may indicate the presence of medullary carcinoma.
• Blood tests to detect the natural rate of thyroglobulin which indicate the presence of cancer empower type of papillary carcinoma or follicular carcinoma.
• blood test to detect the hormone THYROID level of T3, T4 and TSH.
Treatment
Treatment depends upon the type of cancer, although the THYROID thyroid surgery is a form of therapy leads. When the surgery, usually all thyroid is removed, and if the doctor feels that even the groin lymph nodes nearby and are also affected THYROID also removed.
Moreover the patient may also be given radiation therapy which is being provided through direct radiation (external beam radiation) or use (drinking) mineral Iodine tablets contain a nuclear power that is radioactive iodine. This method can be done accompanied also by surgery or no surgery.
After treatment, patients should continue taking the medication specific THYROID hormone to restore what was forfeited after the removal of the gland. Usually offered is larger dose than is necessary to support cancer not return in a body again.
If surgery or radiation has not served to remove the cancer, and that cancer continues spread other parts of the body, the patient may started on medicine to treat cancer (chemotherapy) although it may be helpful for some patients only and not all patients.
What to expect
Cancer types of Anaplastic carcinoma has a worse outcome than all the remaining species, and often patients die even after a thorough treatment of the long-term. Follicular carcinomas with and have a tendency to spread rapidly
in other areas of the body tend to have good results Once treated. Results for patients with a variety of medullary carcinoma may differ between the patient and the patient, where women aged under 40 years were found to have better results after treatment than those with more of the same age. In addition many patients with Papillary carcinomas recover completely and continue with their normal lives.
The thing to remember is that, immediately after treatment, the patient should continue taking pills to restore hormonal THYROID every day of his life.
Effects of Cancer THYROID
Effects of Cancer THYROID effects include it in the sound before surgery, and the sound of scratches after surgery, a decrease in the level of calcium the body when the thyroid gland parathyroid that exists on a bit of THYROID will go away, unfortunately during surgery and the spread of cancer to other parts of the body such as the bones or lungs.
