Thyroid cancer with lung metastasis for 20 years can be treated by surgery, systemic chemotherapy and targeted therapy, radiation therapy and other methods if the body has symptoms related to the cancer. 1. Surgery: If the thyroid cancer lung metastasis is an isolated metastasis, surgery can be performed to remove the metastasis, and radiation therapy can be used to prevent the recurrence of cancer cells after surgery. 2. Systemic chemotherapy and targeted therapy: if thyroid cancer has multiple lung metastases, systemic therapy is needed, and the common method is systemic chemotherapy, which mostly uses epothilone or cisplatin single-agent chemotherapy. If gene mutation is found, it can also be combined with molecular targeted therapy, and commonly used drugs are Anrotinib, Platinib and so on. It can also be combined with radiation therapy, or X-knife treatment. 3. Thyroid hormone inhibition therapy: when thyroid cancer lung metastasis occurs, thyroid hormone inhibition therapy is also needed. This treatment method is mainly to give patients thyroid hormone to inhibit the secretion of thyroid hormone from pituitary gland and suppress the growth of tumor. When thyroid cancer lung metastasis occurs for 20 years, the patient should consult the hospital in time and actively cooperate with the doctor for treatment to prolong the survival period.
