With the continuous development and progress of the economy, people's living standards continue to improve, especially in recent years, because of the impact of the environment and personal living habits, the incidence of cancer has increased significantly, and has shown a younger trend, in China, more and more people are diagnosed with thyroid cancer, but most people will choose timely surgery to remove the tumor, so more and more people do thyroid cancer surgery, we found that the prognosis of thyroid cancer is good, the survival rate is high, and the risk and harm to the human body are relatively low.
Therefore, both professionals and the general public call thyroid cancer "good cancer"
.

But some people have proposed that since it is "good cancer", will there be no problem without surgery? Now many people have a misunderstanding, thinking that surgical treatment can reduce pain to a large extent, and think that surgery can be completely cured, so most thyroid cancer patients will prefer surgical treatment
.

In fact, for low-risk thyroid cancer, it can be observed and actively monitored, and surgery is not necessarily necessary
.
However, "good cancer" can choose not to undergo surgery also need to have conditions:
1.
The first condition to be met is that the size of the tumor does not exceed 1 cm
.

2.
No lymph node metastasis or distant metastasis
.

3.
The tumor did not break through the thyroid capsule to the outside of the thyroid gland, and did not invade the trachea, recurrent laryngeal nerve and surrounding tissues of the thyroid gland
.

4.
Puncture pathology is not a high-risk type
.

5.
No family history
of thyroid cancer.

6.
No history of
adolescent or childhood radiation exposure.

7.
The patient's psychological pressure is not large, and he can actively cooperate
.
Patients have the willingness to receive follow-up, and their own health conditions allow and are eligible for follow-up
.

Finally, if you choose not to undergo surgery, be sure to follow the doctor's advice for regular review, and maintain a happy mood in life!
