What is thyroid disease tirads 3?

The thyroid gland is an endocrine gland, which plays an important role in humans because it produces hormones that regulate metabolism in the body. The thyroid gland has two lobes, the left and right lobes, connected by the isthmus. When the left lobe of the thyroid gland has nodules, the patient will be clinically examined and tested to evaluate and classify the thyroid nodules as benign or malignant, specifically as follows:
Thyroid tirads 1: Benign thyroid nodules. Thyroid tirads 2: Benign nodular lesion and no risk of malignancy. Thyroid tirads 3: Thyroid nodules are mostly benign and the risk of malignancy is about 1.7%. Thyroid tirads 4: Nodules of thyroid nodules suspected of malignancy. Thyroid tirads 5: Thyroid nodules have an 87.5% risk of malignancy. Thus, the left lobe of the thyroid gland, tirads 3, is a benign multi-part nodule, with little risk of malignancy. However, patients should not be subjective, because the rate of malignancy if not detected and treated in time can lead to thyroid cancer complications.

Often, thyroid disease is not detected until the patient has routine health check-ups or is being examined for other conditions, because the disease often has no typical clinical symptoms. However, when the size of the thyroid nodule becomes larger, some signs can help identify the left lobe of the thyroid gland with nodules such as:
Difficulty swallowing, difficulty breathing due to the tumor compressing the esophagus and trachea. Even the patient may have an acute cough. Hoarseness, loss of voice due to tumor compressing larynx and laryngeal nerve. High blood pressure, heart palpitations due to thyroid nodules cause hyperthyroidism.

To diagnose patients with the left lobe of the thyroid gland, tirads 3, the doctor performs the following methods:
Thyroid ultrasound: Ultrasound helps determine the location, size and number of thyroid nodules. In addition, ultrasound also helps to evaluate lymph nodes in the neck and classify thyroid nodules as benign or malignant.

Thyroid function tests: T3, T4, and TSH. In addition, the indicators are Calcitonin, TG and Anti TG also contribute to the diagnosis of thyroid cancer or not. Combining the results of ultrasound and tests, the doctor will make a conclusion that the left lobe of the thyroid has a nucleus that is tirads 3.
Based on the 2017 ACR TIRADS classification, the doctor will continue to specify whether the patient needs a biopsy of thyroid cells or not:
Thyroid nodule size > 2.5cm: Indication for cytology biopsy. Thyroid nodule size from 1.5 - 2.5cm: Periodic follow-up every 6 months.

Depending on the size of the left lobe of the thyroid gland, the doctor will offer the appropriate treatment:
Benign thyroid nodules, small size: Medical treatment with drugs, combined with a reasonable diet, activities and exercise, reasonable rest, try to always keep the spirit in a comfortable state. Periodic re-examination every 3-6 months to monitor and promptly detect thyroid nodules that have grown in size. In case the thyroid nodule is gradually enlarged, the patient may be indicated for surgical treatment with surgery.

Malignant left lobe thyroid nodule tirads 3: The patient is indicated for surgical resection or radiofrequency ablation of the tumor. After surgery, the patient continued chemotherapy and thyroid hormone replacement therapy for a while. Radiofrequency ablation is also applied in the case of benign thyroid nodules, which are large in size and cause compression. This method has the advantages of reducing tumor size, fast treatment time, efficiency and high aesthetics, patients rarely experience side effects due to the technique of applying local anesthesia. Thyroid disease tirads 3 is the left lobe of the thyroid gland with nuclei with the degree of thyroid nodule lesions being mostly benign, with little risk of malignancy. The disease can be treated medically with drugs if benign or surgical surgery, radiofrequency ablation of the tumor if malignant or large size causes compression.
Periodic health check-ups help to detect diseases early, so that there are treatment plans for optimal results.
