Abstract:
Recent years, the prevalence of thyroid cancer in pregnancy has increased significantly, and its diagnosis and management have also attracted attention. The diagnosis and evaluation of thyroid cancer during pregnancymay extend to non-pregnant adult. Ultrasound and ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration biopsy are the cornerstones on the diagnosis of thyroid cancer. The main treatment of thyroid cancer during pregnancy includes surgery and active surveillance. However, the choice of optimal timing, as well as the type of surgery depends on the comprehensive evaluation of the properties and staging of the tumors. Physicians should fully communicate with patients and their families, and respect their willingness and expectation.
