Surgery for Thyroid Cancer

About the Treatment

In most of the general cases, surgery is the main treatment solution for thyroid cancer, except in the case of some anaplastic thyroid cancers. If thyroid cancer is treated using a fine needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy, it is recommended to surgically remove the tumor and all or part of the remaining thyroid gland.

CT imaging of the neck

The surgeon makes an incision in the neck to remove the thyroid gland. This process is highly prevalent in a surgery for thyroid cancer. In case the entire thyroid gland is removed, the process is termed as a total thyroidectomy. In the case of nearly almost all the glands being removed, the process is termed as near-total thyroidectomy. Further, in the case, if most of the glands are being removed, the process is termed as a subtotal thyroidectomy.
