How Dangerous is Thyroid Cancer | UCLA Endocrine Center

- Most people have a type of thyroid cancer that’s slow growing, treatable and curable, says endocrine surgeon Avital Harari, MD. Prognosis depends on the type of thyroid cancer, how far it has spread and your age. Younger age is better - with most thyroid cancers, you can’t present with an advanced stage if you’re under 55 years old.
To determine how dangerous the thyroid cancer is, you need to know whether it has spread to other parts of the body, such as the lymph nodes. A neck ultrasound can identify any spreading, and treatment is often successful even when cancers have spread to the lymph nodes.
For the best thyroid cancer outcomes, your health care team should treat the thyroid and any lymph nodes involved. This usually includes having surgery to remove half or all the thyroid gland.
A small number of thyroid cancers are more aggressive than others - they may spread faster and have worse outcomes. There are treatments available at UCLA Health for later staged, more aggressive types.
No matter the type or stage of thyroid cancer, treatment is crucial. Follow-up after treatment for all patients with thyroid cancer is important since it can come back. If you have questions about your unique cancer, talk to your surgeon and endocrinologist.

My daughter is 43 and has to have her thyroid cancer she has 7 children and my only child i am so scared it turned our world upside down she has been after her doctors for a long time but they kept giving her oh no its not your thyroid we dont need to do this or that 😢
How does she know it’s thyroid cancer? Did she have blood test done? Biopsy? Ultrasound on her neck?
@@Nikkif1013it can be felt on the neck on professional doctor a doctor with my yearly free check up randomly checked my neck and he said it would be possibly thyroid cancer then he recommended neck ultra sound and it confirmed I had thyroid cancer then my retarded not rlly in real terms retarded asian mother never treated it doctor never said anything dangerous or not 1yr since never treated she made it known in family group chat then fkin out after that
Don't worry . Everything happens for a reason. God never destroy your true prayers

How did they find out? And how is it going now?
Thyroid Cancer is weird in the sense that if you were over 55 with say Stage 4 and then suddenly somehow you were under 55 instead it would be capped at Stage 2. The treatments for aggressive variants have come quite a ways in the last few years. Where even anaplastic has options other than... well what it used to have.
My aunt had thyroid cancer and then developed brain cancer. She wasn’t offered radiation therapy after her thyroid cancer because of Covid. Could this lack of care be the cause of her brain cancer?
I suffer same but has been fixed naturally with the antibiotic thyroid shrinking herbs by Dr emuakhe from Africa
Why don’t doctors want to do RFA instead of going straight to surgery?
GOOD ?
Rfa has risks. There is a risk of thyroid capsule collapse or damage to nerves. Also depends where the nodule is grown. I know since I went to 3 rfa doctor. Still searching for answers..
Hello. My brother lives in Liverpool and he had surgery yesterday major thyroid surgery through his chest and doctor told us that thyroid gland is almost 1kg in weight and now he is in anistisia for 3days. Now tell me is there any issue if they put him in anistesia on ventilator for long time. Min time duration that told us 3 days and max no time please guide me we are worried about him
Hi . How is your brother now?
@@brightdays555 he is good and healthy now. Drs stopped him from driving and gym for dew months
What’s the most dangerous kind of thyroid cancer
I think I experienced the most dangerous one but has been fixed naturally with the antibiotic thyroid shrinking herbs by Dr emuakhe from Africa
CAN THYROID CANCER BE TREATED WITH MEDS?
Surgery is the only option mainly and maybe radiation
I don't want any of them...@@HeatherBDentureDiVa
Man can we talk after surgery
I'm 37 with many many autoimmune diseases some rare and was just told I have thyroid cancer
How they find out, Blood taken from the arm?
What we’re your symptoms I’m scared
CAN THYROID CANCER BE FIND FROM A BLOOD TEST FROM THE ARM?
Yes. You can get your thyroglobulin antibody level tested with a blood test. Other thyroid related levels can be indicators of something being wrong. These measurements can be evidence of cancer but you will still need an ultrasound and biopsy to know for certain what's going on.
No
No. Biopsy. Once you do a Sonogram if it shows might be they do biopsy. Which gives them what type and if it is cancer
if we remove all of the thyroid out, what are the odds of the thyroid cancer recurring?
Actually small since if it was just in the thyroid removing it, it will be gone
100%
Small chance if it was just in the thyroid and not spread to LN
I had .88 mm well differentiated papillary with follicular variant stage TMN01 - I had thyroid removed.
After care explain plz
Im Papillary patient after ration doctor informa
I have a thyroid cancer I don't know what am gonna do😢
Aww I’m sorry! I have a large suspicious nodule myself. It’s very difficult to find out what’s the proper approach to handle it
@@CShabazz84if it’s cancer my advice is to have a TOTAL Thyroidectomy. Don’t mess around with only having one lobe removed - the odds are you will have to have the other lobe removed at some point because the cancer will show up there. I had Papillary Thyroid Cancer in 2016 and had a TT. Recently my Thyroid Tumor Marker test has come back high. Soooo, I don’t know how this is going to play out. I wish everyone here the very Best and it will be OK.
@@user-dw6sm7in5z thanks for your advice! It’s helpful to hear from others who know what we are dealing with
you are going to live.
My daughter in law had a tyroid cancer stage 3. its spread to the lungs.. please help us.😢
You didn't talked about RAI resistant patients and about how our lives radically change after the surgery
Radioactive Iodine-Resistant Thyroid Cancer is extremely rare, why would it be discussed in a short well presented introduction to this type of cancer, if you had RAI why would you be looking at it in the first place and why would you leave a comment.
@@barrydunn4764 1) it's not rare at all, you should educate yourself before telling such nonsense things to patients. 2) I comment whenever I want and whatever I want, I don't give a crap about your thoughts and I didn't ask for your opinion or for you to reply to my comment. 3) this video is for thyroid cancer patients and it's important to inform patients about the changes they will experience after surgery and after RAI
@@beyzayildiz5296 My sister has RAI resistant TC, Trach surgery biopsy shows Anaplastic TC. Starting Taxol (low dose chemo) to sensitize for 5 weeks of Radiation treatment. Also on Keytruda IV, was on Braftovi & Mektovi for 2 years and is now declined by Insurance as FDA not approved. It has spread to both lungs but the nodules in the lungs have not changed. Love to hear who and how they are treating yours.
@@sandradee1049 I'm really sorry for your sister, it's really hard to deal with this type of cancer, may God give her remedy. I have resistant TC and they want to put me on lenvima and dabrafenib, treatment is very very expensive as you know so I don't know if I would be able to get it and side effects are scaring me as well (I'm in eu not in usa) Mine also spread to the lungs so I pray this will work for me.
I was delighted to see your comment as this was something I hadn't heard of until reading your commment. Thank god you wrote it. I have been told in have throud cancer 4 yrs ago..and have been putting off surgery due to fear of that and Radiactive iodine therapy afterwards. Your comment wasn't GREATLY appreciated me. Thank you. I will do further research now. Did you have this problem? I wish you would explain more about it if you can. God bless you, and thank you again for your excellent informative comment. Greatly appreciated by me. Doctors are scary sometimes. Not all are good and honest. God bless 🙌 reply if you can. 👋 @@beyzayildiz5296
😢😢
The dumbest thing I have ever heard "You have thyroid cancer and its small but we can just let it grow for a while before we take it out". I was told this and I looked at my endocrinologist like she was stupid.
You go through the comments above, that's my family doc
She is not stupid. You are. Sometimes it is best to leave it alone if it is not aggressive. Surgery and RAI therapy are not without any risks and lifestyle changes.
The antibiotic thyroid shrinking herbs from Dr emuakhe from Africa does the job perfectly fine for me
The antibiotic thyroid shrinking herbs does the job perfectly
@@ogbeborchristabel9276WHAT IS IT?
❤❤❤
😢😢😢😢
Antibiotic thyroid medicine from Dr emuakhe on CZcams from Africa vanished my thyroid case and haven't seen any reoccurrence to date, you're truly an epitome of good treatment..

Please don’t do thyroid treatments at hospital. Thyroid cancer se nahi marte h, ye bahot lucky type ki cancer h. Matlab aap apna diet thik karke cancer ko had se khatam kar sakte h.
Maine nagpur k sabse famous aur experienced doctor se treatment karaya aur wo sirf paiso k liye mujhe bali chadaya. Dawaiya jo ki radioactive iodine jaisi h waisi dawayi ya over dose diya.
Chuttiya aur hramiyat ki kami kahi nahi h.
Apne aap ko kam Zoe na samjhe. Apna ilaj khud kare. Tin char Aur doctors se salah le. Puri jankari le
Bro surgery important he na
Mujhe recently dignose howa hy. Surgery k bghair kese teek hoga. Or apki age kiya hy?
@aliyahossaini8772 fasting karein . Longer hours .. remove .all packages foods.. sugar and carbs ..even fruits . Just have keto meals) search CZcams for options. The cancer will starve itself . Fasting and carnivore is the best option. Google it and check.
@@sangitamarak7850aapko bhi thyroid cancer h kya?
Meri mummy ko thyroidcancer bataya Hai surgery k liye Bola hai nagpur Mai...kya kare samjh nhi aarha
