Thyroid cancer treatments?

Surgery and I-131: Your questions is very broad as treatment usually varies depending on subtype of thyroid cancer and staging.Generally speaking the treatment of thyroid cancer commonly involves total thyroidectomy (which is followed by fewer recurrences than lobectomy) and post-operative evaluation for possible radioiodine ablation based on the amount of residual thyroid tissue or functioning metastasis present.

Surgery: Surgery is needed, followed by thyroid hormone replacement. Depending on how big, what type and whether or not it had spread (lymph nodes involvement), you might also need 1 dose of radioactive iodine. Good luck. Make sure you have a good surgeon and an endocrinologist on your team.

It depends: It depends on whether it takes up radioactive iodine or not. The type that takes up radioactive iodine (papillary) is usually treated with surgery and radioactive iodine ablation. Patients with papillary thyroid cancer tend to do very well and have a high cure rate.

Treatment thyca: Surgery, surgery, surgery. Post op radioactive iodine occasionally. Conventional chemotherapy is ineffective. New oral chemotherapy small molecules.

Thyroid cancer: Thyroid cancer is one of the most treatable cancers. The treatment is a combination of thyroid surgery, radioactive iodine and thyroid hormone therapy. Some patients need only surgery and other with metastatic disease need all 3 treatments. Some very aggressive tumors fail these 3 treatments and can be treated with "tyrosine kinase inhibitors".
