In this episode, the following topics are discussed: Imaging has increased thyroid nodule discovery. Following patients with small thyroid cancer — analogous to prostate cancer.  Better followed than treated. Tiny thyroid cancers can be defined by those nodules less than 1/4 inch in size.  Less RAI is being used as a part of thyroid cancer treatment. This means, less need to do total thyroidectomy or thyroid lobectomy.    Dry mouth and dry eyes are risks to doing RAI.  Also, there is risk to developing a second malignancy.   Most of the secondary cancers are leukemia. Risks to operation include changes to voice and calcium levels.  Thyroid surgery is a safe operation but not risk free. Best question for a patient to ask is, who is my treatment team? The quarterback of treatment team is often the endocrinologist . Cluster of issues can happen after RAI, such as the need to carry water and eye drops for life. For some patients taking thyroid hormone replacement, their blood levels are correct, but still does not feel well on standard treatment protocol. By the end of two weeks, most people go back to what they were doing before surgery with a relatively normal state. Scarring reduction; massage, aloe, Vitamin E.
