What is thyroid cancer?

What are the symptoms

Thyroid cancer is the number of different biological behavior and composition of different pathological types of cancer, including papillary adenocarcinoma, follicular carcinoma, undifferentiated carcinoma, four types of medullary carcinoma. In ancient China, gall Liu Bing is a common disease. Gall tumors, including the current simple goiter, thyroid nodules, thyroid cysts, thyroid adenomas and other thyroid tumors. Medical Saint Zhongjing, Hua and other ancient Chinese medicine are herbal gall tumors conservative treatment, cured many patients. According to "Hua Surgery" records, Hua Zeng Yi of Chinese medicine by bonding, so a lot of gall tumors disappeared. Balance of traditional Chinese medicine triple therapy with Endometriosis, blood circulation, liver qi stagnation, qi and phlegm role, virtually the whole conditioning treatment, treating the symptoms, thyroid cancer can be cured completely, and the more difficult after the recurrence.


Thyroid is the body's largest endocrine gland, located under the thyroid cartilage in the trachea close to the third and fourth cartilage rings in front of the isthmus on both sides of leaves and formed into an average weight of about 20-25g, women slightly rough weight. Behind the thyroid and parathyroid four recurrent laryngeal nerve. About the blood supply are of the four arteries, so the rich blood supply of the thyroid gland by the cervical sympathetic ganglia of the sympathetic and vagal nerve, thyroid gland's main function is synthesis of thyroid hormones, regulating body metabolism, most people, about 100 daily food -200μg of inorganic iodine compounds, absorbed into the bloodstream through the gastrointestinal tract cycle, the rapid concentration of thyroid uptake, storage glands in the body of iodine is about 1 / 5. Iodide into the cells, after oxidation enzymes, the rapid generation of reactive iodine and thyroglobulin in the colloid cavity of the tyrosine-binding molecules, the formation of a iodine tyrosine (MIT) and diiodo tyrosine ( DIT), the back view of the thyroid iodide tyrosine
The role of acid by oxidase, coupled to MIT and DIT combine to form thyroxine (T4), MID, and DIT combine to form three coupling triiodothyronine (T3), stored in the colloid cavity, synthetic thyroxine (T4) and three-triiodothyronine (T3) secreted into the blood circulation, the major thyroid hormone binding globulin and plasma (TBG) combined to facilitate the transfer and regulation of peripheral thyroid hormone concentrations. Thyroxine (T4) in the peripheral tissues were formed by biological activity of iodothyronine strong biological activity of free T3 and rT3. Off of iodine can be reused. Therefore, in hyperthyroidism, the serum T4, T3 and rT3 were increased, while in hypothyroidism, then caught three lower than normal. Thyroid hormone secretion by the pituitary TSH secretion and adenylate cyclase-cAMP through the system of regulation. And TSH secretion by TRH control of the hypothalamus to form the hypothalamus - pituitary - thyroid axis to regulate thyroid function.


Thyroid cancer is the number of different biological behavior and composition of different pathological types of cancer, including papillary adenocarcinoma, follicular carcinoma, undifferentiated carcinoma, four types of medullary carcinoma. Their age, growth rate, transfer channels, the prognosis is significantly different, such as papillary adenocarcinoma, the survival rate after 10 years nearly 90%, undifferentiated cancer process is very short, usually only survive a few months.
