Thyroid surgery and Radiationtherapy

Why Thyroid Surgery is  done?
  • Thyroid cancer. Cancer is the most common reason for thyroidectomy. 
  • Noncancerous enlargement of the thyroid (goiter). Removing all or part of your thyroid gland may be an option for a large goiter. 
  • Overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism). 
  • Suspicious thyroid nodules.

Radiation Therapy:

Specialists use radiation therapy to destroy thyroid cancer cells that remain after surgery and thyroid cancer that has spread (metastasized). 

Penn Medicine radiation oncologists have the expertise to treat all types of thyroid cancer.
