Thyroid cancer is a malignant tumor originating from the follicular epithelial or parafollicular cells of the thyroid gland, with its incidence showing an increasing trend in recent years. For patients diagnosed with thyroid cancer, selecting a professional and reliable hospital for treatment is of utmost importance. Foshan Fosun Chancheng Hospital, with its advanced medical technology, expert healthcare team, and high-quality services, has become an ideal choice for thyroid cancer treatment.
Gathering of Specialists: The Thyroid and Vascular Surgery Department at Foshan Fosun Chancheng Hospital brings together a team of experienced and skilled experts. Chief Physician Du Guoneng and other specialists possess profound expertise in the diagnosis and treatment of thyroid cancer, providing patients with professional and personalized treatment plans.
Multidisciplinary Collaboration: The hospital has established a comprehensive Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) approach, involving experts from oncology, surgery, radiology, pathology, and other disciplines to collaboratively develop individualized treatment plans for thyroid cancer patients. This ensures the most comprehensive and scientifically advanced care for patients.
Precise Diagnosis:
High-Resolution Ultrasound: As the primary method for thyroid cancer screening, it clearly displays the morphology, size, boundaries, calcification, and blood flow of thyroid nodules, helping doctors preliminary assess whether a nodule is benign or malignant.
Fine-Needle Aspiration Biopsy (FNA): Conducted under ultrasound guidance, FNA collects thyroid nodule tissue for pathological analysis. It is the gold standard for diagnosing thyroid cancer, offering minimal invasiveness and high accuracy.
Blood Tests: These assess thyroid function (TSH, T3/T4) and tumor markers (such as calcitonin and thyroglobulin), aiding in the diagnosis of thyroid cancer and evaluating the patient’s thyroid function status.
CT/MRI: Used to evaluate the extent of tumor invasion, its relationship with surrounding tissues, and the presence of distant metastasis, providing critical information for formulating surgical plans.
Personalized Treatment:
Surgical Treatment: Depending on the patient’s condition, tumor stage, and pathological type, appropriate surgical methods are selected, including total thyroidectomy, subtotal thyroidectomy, and thyroid lobectomy, accompanied by neck lymph node dissection to thoroughly remove tumor tissue and improve the cure rate. The surgical team is highly skilled and focuses on protecting critical structures such as the parathyroid glands and recurrent laryngeal nerve, minimizing surgical complications.
Radioiodine (I-131) Therapy: For patients with differentiated thyroid cancer, post-operative I-131 therapy helps eliminate residual thyroid tissue and potential micro-metastases, reducing the recurrence rate. The hospital has a dedicated nuclear medicine team and advanced I-131 treatment equipment to ensure safe and effective therapy.
TSH Suppression Therapy: This involves oral administration of levothyroxine to suppress thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) secretion, reducing TSH stimulation of thyroid cancer cells and thereby lowering the risk of recurrence. Doctors set personalized TSH suppression targets based on the patient’s specific condition and adjust medication dosages regularly.
Targeted Therapy and Radiotherapy: For patients with advanced or metastatic thyroid cancer, the hospital offers targeted therapy drugs (such as sorafenib and lenvatinib) and radiotherapy to control tumor growth and spread, alleviate symptoms, and improve quality of life.
Comfortable Healthcare Environment: The hospital features a pleasant environment and fully equipped facilities, providing patients with a comfortable and welcoming experience. The wards are spacious and bright, equipped with comprehensive amenities, making patients feel at home during their treatment.
Patient-Centered Service Philosophy: The medical staff consistently prioritizes patients, focusing on their physical and mental well-being. From admission to discharge, the healthcare team provides comprehensive nursing services, including condition monitoring, daily care, and psychological support, ensuring patients feel cared for and respected throughout their treatment.
Streamlined Medical Process: The hospital has optimized its medical processes to reduce waiting times. Additionally, it offers one-stop services for international patients, including visa assistance, medical guidance, and translation services, ensuring that patients from abroad can access convenient and efficient medical care.
Foshan Fosun Chancheng Hospital has successfully treated numerous thyroid cancer patients, helping them regain their health. For example, Ms. Cai, a 30-year-old patient, was diagnosed with malignant thyroid cancer and right cervical lymph node metastasis during an outpatient visit. Chief Physician Du Guoneng of the Thyroid and Vascular Surgery Department led the team in performing a "total thyroidectomy with bilateral central and lateral radical neck lymph node dissection." The surgery lasted approximately four hours, with only 50ml of blood loss. The tumor was completely removed while preserving the function of critical structures such as the parathyroid glands and recurrent laryngeal nerve. Post-operatively, there was no nerve damage, and her parathyroid hormone levels remained normal. Ms. Cai recovered well and was highly satisfied with the treatment outcomes.
