42 million people in India are estimated suffering from thyroid problems, an autoimmune condition that has grown very common. The most common cause is the iodine deficiency caused by insufficient food intake, which can lead to diseases such as Valtra and hypothyroidism. In addition, endocrine disorders are more common in women.
In an interview with HT Lifestyle, D -Mandjunet Malzh, director – diabetes and endocrinology at the Sacra in Bengalur, “thyroxine (T4) and triodatronin (T3) are produced by the gland, glands located on the neck under the apple. Many biological processes such as digestion, mood and excitability, body temperature and heart rate and metabolism are crucial. As they relate to each other. “
According to research, the prevalence of thyroid cancer is gradually increasing, but the mortality remained the same. Dr. Mandjununat Malizh discovered: “In India there are 5.4 cases of thyroid cancer for each people. This is the growth of small clumps on the thyroid gland. Thyroid nodules are classified as: single (single nodule), several (more than one nodule) (more than one nodule) (more than one nodule) (more than one nodule) (more than one nodule) (more than one nodule) (more than one nodule) ( filled with fluid) and solid.
Causes of thyroid nodules
D -Mandjununat Malija emphasized: “The following factors increase the risk of thyroid nodules: the history of the head and neck; genetic predisposition to thyroid nodules or thyroid cancers; aging; smoking; metabolic; a hormone similar to the insulin growth factor of growth and uterine nodules.
Most thyroid nodules occur for unknown reasons. Nodules may develop for many reasons, such as –
- One or more growth of the normal thyroid tissue is called colloidal nodules. These growths are benign, not malignant. They do not spread past your thyroid gland, though they could become big. These types of thyroid nodules are most common.
- Growths that are partly solid and partially filled with fluid are known as thyroid cysts. There is little chance of cancer (malignant medium) from cystic nodules.
- The constant edema of your thyroid gland (inflammation) leads to the development of inflammatory nodules. It is possible that these growths will not hurt.
- Increased thyroid gland or multi -dollar goiter consists of several nodules, most of which are benign.
- The development of hyperthyroidism can result from the excess thyroid hormone produced by these nodules.
- Thyroid cancer occurs less than 6.5 percent of the thyroid nodules, making it extremely rare.
Symptoms of thyroid nodules
Thyroid nodules usually do not show any symptoms. However, you may notice your nodules if you have a lot or when they are big. Rarely nodules can expand to the fact that they produce vocal abnormalities or wheezing, difficulty swallowing or breathing, neck pain and goiter, thyroid enlargement.
Types of thyroid cancer
1. Papillary thyroid cancer is the most common (80%), slowly growing and often cured. Options that grow faster, such as high cells and column, may require more intensive treatment.
2. The thyroid follicular river spreads to the lungs or bones, but has a fair prognosis and is associated with iodine deficiency.
3. Oncanitarian carcinoma: less common (3%), harder to find and cure.
4. Thyroid Medullary Cancer (MTC) develops from cells C, creates calcitin and has the potential for distribution before detection.
5. 2% of cases are thyroid cancer, aggressive and often derived from other tumors that have already undergone differentiation.
6. Sarcoma, SCC and thyroid lymphoma rarely differ from other thyroid cancers.
7. Cancer of the parathyroid gland, unusual cancer of the parathyroid glands leads to an increase in calcium levels, which can lead to symptoms such as kidney stones, bone pain and exhaustion. The main course of treatment is surgery.
A lump in the neck, which can increase over time, neck pain or swelling, hoarse or problems that swallow or breathe, and a constant cough that is not associated with the flu or cold, are signs of thyroid cancer.
Diagnosis and management
D -Mandjunet Malzh said: “Doctors can recommend ultrasound if they find some tumors or anomalies in thyroid gland during physical examination to make a diagnosis. Finding out whether a nodule is solid or filled with fluid. The glands can be determined by blood test. “
He added: “Another technique that takes cells from a nodule for microscopic analysis is called the biopsy of aspiration of the small needle (FNAB). Hormonal thyroid therapy, radioactive iodine therapy and surgery available forms. Purposeful therapy ”.
Prevention and regular examination
