  3. Thyroid Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment • Diagnosis  • Tests and procedures used to diagnose thyroid cancer:  • Physical examination • Blood test   • Ultrasound imaging   • Removal of a sample of thyroid tissue   • CT, MRI, and nuclear imaging tests that use the radioactive form of iodine  • Genetic testing  • Once you’ve been diagnosed for Thyroid Cancer, its treatment begins. • Thyroid Cancer Treatment  • Your thyroid cancer treatment options depend on the type and stage of your thyroid cancer, your overall health, and your preferences.  • Surgery • Most people with thyroid cancer undergo surgery to remove the thyroid. Which operation your doctor might recommend depends on the type of thyroid cancer, the size of the tumour, whether cancer has spread beyond the thyroid, and the results of an ultrasound exam of the entire thyroid gland.  • Operations used to treat thyroid cancer include:  • Removing all or most of the thyroid (thyroidectomy).   • Removing a portion of the thyroid (thyroid lobectomy).   • Removing lymph nodes in the neck (lymph node dissection).  

  4. Thyroid hormone therapy • After thyroidectomy, you may take the thyroid hormone medication levothyroxine.  • Two benefits - • It supplies the missing hormone your thyroid would normally produce •  It suppresses the production of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) from your pituitary gland.  • Radioactive iodine • Radioactive iodine treatment is often used after thyroidectomy to destroy any remaining healthy thyroid tissue and microscopic areas of thyroid cancer that weren't removed during surgery. Radioactive iodine treatment may also treat thyroid cancer that recurs after treatment or spreads to other body areas.  • External radiation therapy • External beam radiation therapy may be recommended if surgery isn't an option and your cancer continues to grow after radioactive iodine treatment. Radiation therapy may also be recommended after surgery if there's an increased risk that your cancer will recur.  • Chemotherapy • It's sometimes recommended for people with anaplastic thyroid cancer. Chemotherapy may be combined with radiation therapy.  • Targeted drug therapy • Targeted drug therapy for thyroid cancer targets the signals that tell cancer cells to grow and divide. It's typically used in advanced thyroid cancer.
