What causes thyroid cancer not to recur and swollen lymph nodes?

Thyroid cancer does not recur and lymphadenopathy may be caused by lymph node metastasis in thyroid cancer. Thyroid cancer is a malignant tumor originating from the follicular epithelium or parafollicular epithelial cells of the thyroid gland, which is mainly manifested as a painless mass in the anterior neck that moves with swallowing.

When thyroid cancer metastasizes to lymph nodes, it can appear as a lump in the neck with a hard texture, unclear borders, and adhesions and fixation with surrounding tissues, and most of them are single. If the pathological examination results show that no cancer cells are found after surgical treatment, it means that the thyroid cancer has been cured.In this case, if the patient recovers well after surgery and there is no recurrence, lymphadenopathy may not be caused.

If the patient's postoperative pathological examination results indicate the presence of lymph node metastasis, it means that the thyroid cancer has not been completely cured. Patients are advised to go to the hospital in time and be treated with iodine-131 therapy, radionuclide therapy, etc. under the guidance of a doctor. If necessary, chemotherapy should also be carried out with paclitaxel injection, cisplatin injection and other drugs according to the doctor's instructions.

Patients are advised to maintain good habits in their daily lives and avoid undesirable behaviors such as overwork and staying up late. At the same time, you also need to pay attention to maintaining a light diet in your diet, and you can eat millet porridge, noodles and other foods appropriately.
