Xu Chen

During recent forty years, thyroid cancer rates had gone up constantly. Generally, the best treatment for thyroid benign or malignant nodules is surgery, but surgery is very costly. This paper was about how to manage thyroid cancer through food and medication. To understand this topic, the researcher went through more than five thousand threads/emails online long-term thyroid cancer survivors’ group. Among the survivors, this researcher picked out five typical cases that survived thyroid cancer from eight years to close to 50 years. From these five cases’ discussion, the researcher tentatively summarized the best practices in diet and medication in improving thyroid health and consequently keeping thyroid cancer in remission.
