Thyroid Cancer: Risks and Prevention
Показать описание
Dr Sanjoy Sen, MS (General Surgery), FACS (USA), MRCS (England), MCh (Surgical Oncology), helps us understand thyroid cancer by answering FAQs from patients and caregivers
Are there any ways of preventing thyroid cancer?
Children with a family history of multiple endocrine neoplasia 2B, can have a prophylactic thyroidectomy at the age of 1. Children with the Type 2A variant can do so at age 5.
If patients have a history of radiation exposure, they need to be kept under close follow-up.
Ensure you take sufficient iodine in your diet. Iodised salt is easily available in the market for this purpose.
