For patients with high suspicion of thyroid cancer, it is best to go to a thyroid specialist in a larger hospital for treatment because the first treatment of thyroid cancer is very critical and it will affect the overall outcome and even the long-term survival rate. The standard procedures for thyroid cancer are: 1) lobectomy with isthmus resection; 2) total thyroidectomy; 3) central lymph node dissection, elective lymph node dissection, functional lymph node dissection and classical lymph node dissection. Different procedures are used according to the patient’s condition and the surgeon’s surgical ability. Standard thyroid cancer surgery is a high-risk procedure and should be performed by a group of specialists with extensive experience together, which includes correct intraoperative judgment, skilled manual technique of the surgeon, qualitative ability of the pathology department, careful assistance of the assistant, and safety of the anesthesiologist. We should try to avoid the second or even third operation caused by irregular surgery. The more the number of operations, the more complications and recurrence of metastasis, and the long-term survival rate will be reduced. Therefore, to improve the standardized treatment of thyroid cancer, we should start from two aspects: 1. Patients should learn more about science, and never go to unqualified places for thyroid cancer surgery in order to save some money. 2. Doctors engaged in thyroid surgery should continuously strengthen their theoretical and surgical skills to improve the preoperative and intraoperative diagnosis rate of thyroid cancer, standardize the operation, minimize complications and avoid secondary surgery, thus reducing recurrence and improving the cure rate and long-term survival rate.
