Lymph node metastasis is found in an average of 36% at diagnosis, and it is known that about 3-30% of lymph node metastasis occurs during follow-up after surgery. Thyroid cancer has a good prognosis, with a 10-year survival rate of over 90%, but regular examinations are required to detect recurrence and metastasis.

How to self check thyroid papillary cancer
“If you feel a lump in your neck, feel a foreign body feeling and discomfort when swallowing saliva, or if you have symptoms such as a sudden change in your voice, you may have thyroid cancer,” doctor said. After surgery, with proper treatment and management to prevent recurrence, a cure is almost possible.
Thyroid cancer can be diagnosed with an ultrasound scan of the thyroid gland to determine its size and location. In particular, the 'fine needle aspiration cell test', which identifies cancer cells cytologically, is essential for the diagnosis of 'thyroid papillary cancer'. CT scan helps determine the extent to which thyroid cancer has spread to surrounding tissues, whether there is metastasis to lymph nodes, and whether there are anatomical vascular mutations. On the other hand, blood tests can confirm whether the thyroid function (hyper or decreased) before surgery.
