Thyroid Cancer Treatment Options in Irvine
At our Irvine location, we provide a comprehensive and personalized approach to thyroid cancer treatment. Recognizing that each patient’s diagnosis is unique, we offer various treatment options based on the specific type and stage of the cancer. Surgery is often the first line of treatment, involving the removal of part or all of the thyroid gland to stop the spread of cancer. Following surgery, radioactive iodine therapy may be used to eliminate any remaining cancerous cells, providing an added layer of protection against recurrence. External beam radiation therapy is another option, using high-energy rays precisely targeted to destroy cancer cells while preserving surrounding healthy tissue.
For some patients, chemotherapy or targeted therapy may be recommended. Chemotherapy works by attacking rapidly dividing cancer cells, while targeted treatments are designed to interfere with the specific mechanisms that fuel cancer growth. These therapies can be especially effective in advanced or aggressive cases. No matter the approach, our team at the Irvine clinic focuses on creating tailored treatment plans to meet each patient's needs, ensuring the best possible outcomes.
