Thyroid Cancer

Most thyroid cancer cases have a favorable course; accurate diagnosis and surgery of the right extent matter most. Our council plans an approach that protects your voice and calcium balance.

HIGHLIGHTS

What stands out in this treatment

Nerve-Preserving Thyroid Surgery

Protection of the vocal-cord nerve (recurrent laryngeal nerve) with intraoperative nerve monitoring; minimizing the risk of voice loss.

Parathyroid Preservation

Identification and preservation of the parathyroid glands that maintain calcium balance; reducing the risk of permanent hypocalcemia.

Radioactive Iodine (RAI) Therapy

Post-surgical RAI by nuclear medicine in suitable cases; targets residual thyroid tissue and microscopic disease. The need is determined by the board.

Fine-Needle Aspiration Biopsy (FNAB)

Ultrasound-guided FNAB for accurate classification of nodules; avoiding unnecessary surgery.

Molecular Testing (BRAF etc.)

BRAF and other molecular markers in indeterminate cytology and risk stratification; personalizing the intensity of treatment and follow-up.

Sensitive Follow-up with Thyroglobulin

Early detection of recurrence with thyroglobulin and antibody monitoring after surgery/RAI; sustainable surveillance via remote tele-oncology.

Insurance & agreements

Transparent payment with contracted institutions and private insurers, at home and abroad.

Accommodation & rooms

Companion-friendly modern patient rooms and in-city accommodation support.

International patient services

Visa, airport transfer and 24/7 multilingual medical interpreters.

Transparent, guaranteed price

A quote prepared from your medical information; no extra charge for the treatments it covers.
