Answer:
There are four main types of cancer of the thyroid (based on how the cancer cells look under a microscope): papillary, follicular, medullary, and anaplastic.
Explanation:
Surgery is the removal of the tumor and some surrounding healthy tissue during an operation, called a margin. Surgery may also be called a resection. It is the main treatment for most people with thyroid cancer. A surgical oncologist is a doctor who specializes in treating cancer using surgery. Depending on the size of the thyroid nodule, common surgical options include:
Lobectomy. This surgery removes the thyroid gland’s lobe with the cancerous nodule.
Near-total thyroidectomy. Also called subtotal thyroidectomy, this is surgery to remove all but a small part of the thyroid gland.
Total thyroidectomy. This surgery removes the entire thyroid gland.
There are different surgical techniques that can be used for a thyroidectomy:
Standard thyroidectomy. This is when the surgeon makes a small incision (or cut) near the base or middle of the neck. This gives the surgeon direct access to the patient’s thyroid gland for the operation. At some cancer centers, newer surgical techniques are being offered to reduce or avoid neck scarring.
Endoscopic thyroidectomy. During this procedure, the surgeon makes a single small incision. The surgery is similar to a standard thyroidectomy except that a scope and video monitor are used to guide the procedure rather than surgical loupe magnification, which is special eyeware.
Robotic thyroidectomy. The surgeon makes an incision elsewhere, such as in an armpit, the hairline of the neck, mouth or the chest, and then uses a robotic tool to perform the thyroidectomy. Robotic thyroidectomy is not a recommended surgery for thyroid cancer.
