Besides surgery there are other treatment options for thyroid cancer, such as radioactive iodine treatment, thyroid hormone therapy, external beam radiation therapy, chemotherapy and targeted therapy.
Dr. Robert Udelsman, Chief of Endocrine Surgery with Miami Cancer Institute, explains surgery is not use only in cases of thyroid cancer. It is also used in cases of benign conditions, like Graves disease, benign thyroid nodules and ferrets cysts.
