(Baonghean.vn) - Thyroid cancer is one of the common malignant diseases; it tends to increase and can occur in young people. In order to help people detect early, increase the chance of successful treatment and reduce costs, from August 25 to September 25, 2020, Cua Dong General Hospital launched the program "Free thyroid examination and ultrasound".

Thyroid cancer - the silent killer

According to 2019 statistics from the Central Cancer Hospital, thyroid cancer ranks 9th among the most common cancers in our country; with more than 5,400 new cases. Thyroid cancer can be successfully treated if detected at an early stage; the prognosis for thyroid cancer patients is better than other types of cancer.

However, thyroid cancer often has no obvious signs in the early stages, so the disease silently metastasizes to many other organs, and when detected, it is often in the late stages. Therefore, the best way to detect the disease early is to proactively screen for early detection, through regular health check-ups.

According to Dr. Phan Thi Hoang Yen - Endocrinology Specialist, Cua Dong General Hospital: Most thyroid cancer patients progress silently, early detection of the disease greatly affects the treatment results. Small tumors that have not metastasized to many lymph nodes often have very good treatment results. On the contrary, patients with large tumors that progress rapidly and have metastasized to many lymph nodes will have more limited surgical results and lower treatment effectiveness. Therefore, patients should proactively go for examination and screening to detect thyroid cancer early to increase the chance of successful treatment and save costs.

Early screening solution for thyroid cancer

Thyroid disease often has unclear symptoms that are easily overlooked by patients. Therefore, one of the methods to help screen for thyroid disease early is to perform a thyroid ultrasound.
