Topic: A family of three suffered from thyroid cancer
Rush to the hot search. 
In October last year, Ms. Yang, a 42-year-old woman in Jiangsu Province, felt a foreign body sensation in her throat and coughed frequently, and was diagnosed with a malignant thyroid tumor at a local hospital, which had invaded her trachea and recurrent laryngeal nerve. Ms. Yang then went to Jiangsu Provincial Cancer Hospital for medical treatment, and after careful evaluation, the doctor decided to arrange surgery as soon as possible.
In view of the fact that thyroid cancer is clustered in some families, the doctor recommended that Ms. Yang's younger brother and mother, who came to the hospital to accompany her, also undergo thyroid examinations, and the results of the examination showed that both were grade 5 (90% malignant risk), and all three of them had papillary thyroid cancer. The hospital arranged surgery for Ms. Yang's younger brother and mother in time, and the family of three was discharged from the hospital smoothly after the operation.
Why a family of three.
Will you get thyroid cancer at the same time?
Why did Ms. Yang's family of three suffer from cancer at the same time? According to the doctor's analysis, this is mainly closely related to the familial aggregation of thyroid cancer. Ms. Yang's experience is not unique, as four people from a family in Zhejiang were diagnosed with thyroid cancer within six years, which also confirms that thyroid cancer has the characteristics of family hereditary.
According to an article published by the National Cancer Center in JNCC (Journal of the National Cancer Center) in 2022, the incidence of thyroid cancer in China is the highest year by year, and it has become the seventh most common cancer in incidence. The prevalence of thyroid cancer in women is relatively high, and the latest data show that the incidence of thyroid cancer in women has increased from seventh to third place compared to the 2012 national cancer epidemiological statistics.
The doctor reminded: "If someone in the family suffers from thyroid cancer, you must not be careless, and epidemiological investigations have shown that the occurrence of thyroid cancer is related to genetic factors. Because of the inheritance of familial genetic defects, the risk of developing the same cancer in the family is greatly increased, and there are multiple susceptibility genes for thyroid cancer, so the family is more likely to develop thyroid cancer together. ”
In addition, the similar lifestyle is also the cause of thyroid cancer for Ms. Yang and her family. Some unhealthy lifestyle habits, such as unhealthy diet, insufficient exercise, long-term exposure to secondhand smoke, radiation exposure, etc., may cause thyroid cancer.
