In recent years, the incidence of thyroid cancer increased significantly, particularly in coastal areas, the incidence rate of over 10 years ago increased by ranking 4-5, number of cases was 10 years ago, four times. Thyroid cancer age of onset of 20 years old to 40 years old mainly young adults, women than men, the incidence rate is about three times more men.
Preference for young women, thyroid cancer, in addition to the disease are hormone-dependent tumor, the age group of women in the estrogen and progesterone secretion during the strong, easy to disease, in addition to competing with the white-collar women enduring career, life stress and environmental pollution related. Young women are emotionally unstable, mental stress, and childbearing, and abortion lead to endocrine disorders, vulnerable to the invasion of cancer cells.
In order to resist the invasion of thyroid cancer, young women should learn self-examination the thyroid gland, through the mirror with your fingers soft reduction on both sides of the neck in front of the trachea, first note that the shape of goiter. The shape of goiter generally divided into two categories, was butterfly-shaped, more common in patients with thyroiditis and some of the hyperthyroidism; The other is a part of the emergence of a thyroid lump round, more common in thyroid cyst , thyroid adenoma, nodular goiter, including thyroid cancer.
Second, pay attention to the size of the tumor. Generally benign tumors or cysts in a single nodule more than 2 centimeters in diameter; more than 2 centimeters in diameter should be suspected thyroid cancer.
Third, pay attention to mass smoothness and hardness. A single nodule enlargement, but the smooth surface, even those who may adenoma; a single nodule enlargement, performance is not smooth, showing a sense of physical persons, should be suspected cancer.
Fourth, note that the growth rate of tumor. Number of benign tumors and cysts course of the disease can be months to several years; thyroid cancer tumor growth markedly.
Fifth, pay attention to whether the surrounding mass palpable lymph nodes. If the thyroid can touch around the neck, hard texture of the lymph nodes, treatment should be prompt.
Surgical thyroid diseases are common diseases, both with thyroid nodules or thyroid cancer, surgery is still more to promote the preferred method, but the traditional thyroid surgery requires the patient to open the neck 6 ~ 10 cm-long incision, postoperative neck left a permanent scar will affect patients, especially young women, beautiful, this caused great psychological pressure. As medical technology advances, the rise of single-hole just borrow ideas and technologies for laparoscopic surgery, a single incision through the areola single Xiongru way to endoscopic thyroid surgery has become a reality. The technology is on the edge of the areola by the unilateral establishment of a single small incision in the chest subcutaneous tunnel, the light amplification using endoscopic and ultrasound equipment such as knives, in the ipsilateral chest puncture is only 0.5 cm in diameter two adjacent holes, after only a Unilateral left edge of the areola at the top of the areola color is almost invisible with a small scar through the areola to the breast-channel separation of the scope of the thyroid gland is smaller, smaller wounds can be achieved, more beauty, postoperative pain and lighter, chest discomfort more light, faster recovery and shorter hospitalization time, the desired effect. Endoscopic thyroid surgery for the part of the implementation of low-risk thyroid cancer patients would also have to complete lymph node dissection, to achieve the desired results of operations.
