Thyroid cancer is a condition that affects the thyroid gland, located in the front of the neck. While there are different types of thyroid cancer, one common truth remains—surgery is the main and most effective treatment option for most thyroid cancers.

At LaproPod in Tirunelveli, we specialize in advanced surgical care for thyroid cancer. Our skilled team of surgeons and specialists provides precise, safe, and patient-friendly procedures to ensure the best outcomes. In this article, we explain why surgery is the primary treatment for thyroid cancer and how LaproPod is equipped to provide world-class care.

Understanding Thyroid Cancer

The thyroid is a small butterfly-shaped gland that plays a major role in metabolism, energy regulation, and hormone production. When abnormal cells begin to grow in this gland, they form thyroid cancer.

There are four main types of thyroid cancer:

Papillary thyroid cancer (most common and slow-growing)
Follicular thyroid cancer
Medullary thyroid cancer
Anaplastic thyroid cancer (rare and aggressive)

Although each type behaves differently, early detection followed by surgery can lead to a full recovery in most cases.

Why Surgery is the First Choice of Treatment

Complete Removal of CancerSurgery removes the cancerous tissue, which lowers the chances of cancer spreading or returning. This is especially important for aggressive types.
Helps in Diagnosis and StagingIn many cases, surgery allows doctors to determine how advanced the cancer is, which helps guide further treatment.
Increases Survival RateStudies show that surgery greatly improves the chances of long-term survival in thyroid cancer patients.
Minimizes the Need for Radiation or ChemotherapyWhen the tumor is successfully removed, the need for additional therapies becomes less frequent.

Types of Thyroid Cancer Surgery Offered at LaproPod, Tirunelveli

At LaproPod, we offer the most advanced surgical techniques for thyroid cancer, including:

1. Total Thyroidectomy

In this procedure, the entire thyroid gland is removed. It is usually recommended for cancers that have spread within the gland or to nearby lymph nodes.

2. Lobectomy

Here, only one lobe (half of the thyroid) is removed. This is a good option when the cancer is small and confined to one part of the gland.

3. Lymph Node Dissection

If cancer has spread to the lymph nodes in the neck, we may remove these during surgery to prevent further spread.
