Abstract:
Thyroid cancer is one of common malignant tumor in neck, which can occur in any age. Females are more likely to have this disease than males. Most patients get a nodule on their thyroid, which typically does not cause any symptoms. Surgical resection is an effective method to cure thyroid cancer. In recent years, more and more evidence support that traditional Chinese medicine plays an important role in the recovery of postoperative thyroid carcinoma.
