What is ENT - What options do people with advanced papillary or follicular thyroid cancer have for treatment?
Surgical procedures include a tracheotomy (TT) and a dissection of the neck if necessary. Even while 131I isn't typically successful in curing patients with distant metastases, it can sometimes help. If a circumscribed lesion does not respond to RAI, then external beam radiation may be an option. When there is no 131I uptake by the tumour, resection of symptomatic or otherwise locally confined metastases may be warranted. It is important to have an in-depth discussion with the patient before removing structures (such the larynx, pharynx, or trachea) that are essential to their daily functioning. • Tyrosine kinase inhibitors and other forms of treatment should be investigated for patients with unresectable illness who have not responded to 131I.
