Thyroid cancer treatment usually involves a combination of surgery, radioactive iodine therapy, and, in some cases, external beam radiation therapy or targeted therapy. The primary treatment is typically a thyroidectomy, a surgical procedure to remove part or all of the thyroid gland. Radioactive iodine therapy is often used after surgery to destroy any remaining cancerous tissue. Depending on the cancer’s type and stage, other treatments like chemotherapy or targeted therapy might be considered. The treatment plan is customized based on the cancer’s specific characteristics and the patient’s overall health.
