I was not in the hospital. I asked just a second opinion. I was very disappointed, because I was working a lot to translate all the documentation into English, and finally I was discussing with doctor only 10 minutes, and the level of the discussion was very poor. Practically I did not get anything for 400 EUR.

Reply from Professor Johaness Drach:
Second opinion is given on the basis of a thorough analyses of provided medical reports. The procedure lasts as long until all questions of the patient have been clarified. If necessary specialists of other disciplines are also involved. The patient always receive a written statement.

FAQ about Thyroid cancer Treatment in Austria

How is thyroid cancer diagnosed?

  • A patient has to undergo a high-resolution ultrasound to examine lymph nodes and understand whether malignant cells have spread to other organs.
  • A doctor carries out the diagnostics of the patient’s thyroid gland — a biopsy from the enlarged lymph nodes.
  • A specialist tests what type of malignancy the patient’s got. The most widespread thyroid cancers are papillary and follicular carcinomas — about 80% of cases.
  • A patient needs to undergo CT, PET/CT scanning to reveal the metastasis spread to other sites of the patient’s body.

What are the risk factors for thyroid cancer?

  • Age. Thyroid cancer can occur at any age. However, it is the most common among young people under 25.
  • Gender. According to the statistics, such a disease is 2-3 times more common in women than in men. Unlike many other types of cancer, thyroid tumors are often found at a young age. For example, it is the most common type of cancer among women aged 20-35. Every 50th patient is a child or teenager.
  • Iodine deficiency. A patient needs to keep a diet with a high level of iodine to prevent the disease.
  • Predisposition to a disease. If a patient has a genetic hereditary or someone in the family had thyroid cancer, he/she can get this disease. To avoid it, undergo diagnostics to be sure you have nothing to be afraid of.

If you seek accurate diagnostics, just submit a request, and Bookimed manager will recommend you the best hospital for thyroid cancer treatment.

What are the best thyroid cancer treatment options?

Surgery.

  • Thyroidectomy. Doctors apply this method to remove the affected thyroid gland. Such surgeries can be open and endoscopic (minimally invasive). Depending on a cancer stage, a surgeon decides what type of operation is required.
  • Lymph nodes removals. If cancer has spread to lymph nodes, a surgical oncologist removes them partially or totally to prevent the relapse.

Radioiodine therapy. A radiologist prescribes this option after surgery, for relapsed cancer or when it spreads to lymph nodes or throughout the body.

Hormone therapy. Specialists use hormonal drugs to maintain the patients’ hormones levels after thyroid cancer surgery.

Chemotherapy. Chemo drugs stop cancer cells division and growth. Medical oncologist can prescribe chemotherapy for metastatic thyroid cancer to reduce its symptoms.

External beam radiation. A doctor applies such a therapy to destroy cancer cells or stop their growth with X-ray beams. This kind of radiation therapy is assigned to patients with medullary and anaplastic thyroid cancer. This is used for metastatic or recurrent cancer. This option can be used alone or combined with chemo drugs.

Targeted therapy. Such a therapy is used when other treatments are ineffective. Targeted drugs destroy cancer genes and proteins with no damage to healthy cells. Side effects are less severe in comparison with chemo.

Only an oncologist can decide what treatment methods will be effective for you. That depends on the cancer stage and overall health condition.
