In February 2024, the country Center released my countrys latest cancer report.The report shows that the top three of the cancer ons were lung, colorectal, and thyroid cancer in 2022.Thyroid cancer is called "the most gentle cancer".Regarding this statement, Song Yantao believes that the reason why thyroid cancer is not the same as other malignant tumors is because most of the malignant degree of malignancy of thyroid cancer can be cured through surgery even if recurrence and metastasis occurs.
The latest cancer report in my country shows that womens number of thyroid cancer is almost three times that of men.Song Yantao said that the specific cause of the high incidence of women has not yet been found."In addition to gender, compared to other malignant tumors, thyroid cancer occurs in young and middle -aged people, especially among the obese people.In the early childhood, there are people who have ray contact and people living in the nuclear pollution environment. The incidence of thyroid cancer has increased significantly.However, in daily life, the electromagnetic radiation dose of mobile phones, computers and other equipment is very low, which is not enough to induce thyroid cancer.In addition, there is no clear evidence to prove that factors such as seafood, emotions, and excessive iodine supplementation can induce thyroid cancer.
"If the patient is diagnosed with thyroid cancer, dont panic. Most patients with thyroid cancer are no different from normal people after treatment. Patients should treat them in a timely manner, take the medicine regularly according to the doctors order, and eat normally."Song Yantao said.
