Can a Lung Cancer Patient Have Another Thyroid Cancer Surgery?

Lung cancer patients can undergo thyroid cancer surgery if their heart and lung functions have been evaluated and they can tolerate the surgery. In general, whether the surgery can be performed depends on whether the patient can tolerate the surgery and the effect of anesthesia on the body, mostly measuring whether the patient’s heart and lung function can be operated. If the patient’s heart and lungs are functioning well, and the anesthesiologist, cardiologist, and respiratory physician can tolerate the adverse effects of the surgery, the patient can be operated on for thyroid cancer. It should be noted that most of the lung cancer patients who can undergo surgery are in the early to middle stage, and their physical conditions are relatively good. Patients with advanced lung cancer are in very poor physical condition on one hand, and on the other hand, the survival rate of lung cancer is very low while the survival rate of thyroid cancer is high, and some of the patients will not choose to undergo thyroid cancer surgery again. Whether lung cancer patients can undergo thyroid cancer surgery or not needs to be decided under the comprehensive discussion of multidisciplinary doctors.
