Undifferentiated thyroid cancer B-ultrasound symptoms?
summary
Undifferentiated thyroid carcinoma is the most malignant type of thyroid cancer. The incidence rate is about 10-15% of all thyroid cancers. It is common for the elderly and the weak. The incidence of thyroid cancer is rapid and can occur systemic metastasis at early stage. Undifferentiated thyroid carcinoma, also known as anaplastic carcinoma or sarcomatoid carcinoma, is rare. It mostly occurs in women over 40 years old. It grows fast and can infiltrate and metastasize in the early stage. It has high malignancy and poor prognosis. Undifferentiated thyroid cancer B-ultrasound symptoms? Let's talk about it
Undifferentiated thyroid cancer B-ultrasound symptoms?
1. The main manifestation of undifferentiated thyroid cancer is that most of the elderly patients are over 60 years old, and the ratio of male to female is about 1:1.5. The clinical manifestation is usually that the original thyroid mass or nodule for many years develops rapidly and increases rapidly in the near future. In a short time, it progresses to bilateral thyroid enlargement significantly, and even forms a huge hard mass in the neck. The surface is uneven and fixed, and does not move up and down with swallowing, showing abnormal changes in the neck. Local malignant manifestations such as hoarseness, dyspnea, dysphagia, Homer's syndrome, etc. were caused by invasion of adjacent organs.
2. The secondary manifestations were rapid growth of undifferentiated cancer cells, severe local invasion and distant metastasis, and early concurrent occurrence of hematogenous metastasis and lymph node metastasis. Therefore, the symptoms and signs of multiple organ metastases can be displayed at the same time. The general condition deteriorates rapidly and fails. The response to any treatment method is poor. In a short time, the patient dies due to compression of trachea and esophagus and extreme consumption.
Patients often see a fast-growing neck mass, accompanied by pain, dyspnea, hoarseness, eating disorders and other local malignant manifestations.
matters needing attention
Thyroid cancer patients need to change their bad eating habits, which increase the exposure to carcinogens. Therefore, in order to prevent cancer, these bad habits should be changed.
