There are several types of treatments available for thyroid cancer. The type of treatment you will undergo depends on the type and stage of thyroid cancer, your preference, and your general health. Quite often, more than one type of treatment is required. The most common types of treatments are surgery, hormone therapy, radioactive iodine, external radiation therapy, chemotherapy, targeted drug therapy, and palliative care.
Surgery
For most types of thyroid cancer, surgery is the first treatment. There are several surgical options to treat thyroid cancer. The surgery your doctor may suggest depends on the type of thyroid cancer you have, whether cancer has spread, and the size of cancer. Common surgical options include:
Thyroidectomy – this operation may involve removing the entire thyroid gland (total thyroidectomy) or most of the thyroid gland (near-total or subtotal thyroidectomy).
Thyroid lobectomy – during a thyroid lobectomy, your thyroid glands lobe with the cancerous nodule is removed.
Lymph node dissection – when your surgeon removes your thyroid, nearby lymph nodes in the neck may also be removed.
All types of surgery are performed under general anesthesia.
Hormone therapy
After surgery, thyroid hormone therapy may be necessary to replace the hormone your thyroid would normally produce. In addition, hormone therapy may slow down the growth of any remaining cancer cells. It works by suppressing your pituitary gland from producing thyroid-stimulating hormone.
Hormone therapy typically involves taking a pill daily, at the same time every day, so that your body receives a consistent supply.
Radioactive iodine
Radioactive treatment is usually used after thyroidectomy. This type of treatment is used to kill any healthy thyroid tissue that may remain, along with some areas of thyroid cancer that were not removed during surgery. It is also used to treat thyroid cancer that has spread to other areas of the body or recurs after treatment. Radioactive iodine is given in either pill or liquid form.
External radiation therapy
This is another type of radiation therapy that uses a machine that aims high-energy beams, such as protons and X-rays, at precise points on your body. It is usually suggested if surgery is not an option or if your cancer still grows even after radioactive iodine treatment or if there is a risk that your cancer will recur.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy uses chemicals to destroy cancer cells. It is typically given intravenously (infusion through a vein). The chemicals can travel all around your body and killing quickly growing cancer cells. This procedure is not common for thyroid cancer. However, it is sometimes recommended for those with anaplastic thyroid cancer.
Targeted drug therapy
This type of treatment focuses on specific abnormalities present within the cancer cells. It can kill cancer cells by blocking these abnormalities. For thyroid cancer, this therapy targets the signals telling cancer cells to grow and divide.
Palliative care
This is specialized medical care that focuses on providing relief from the symptoms that thyroid cancer may bring. It can be used while you undergo other treatments, such as surgery or radiation therapy.
After any surgical procedure, you may need to stay in the hospital for 3 to 5 days and stay in Indonesia for about 7 to 14 days. For hormone therapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy, and chemotherapy, your length of stay depends on how many therapy cycles are required for your case. Your medical team/medical travel team will be able to advise you on this matter.
After surgery, you will need to rest for several weeks after surgery. Most people are able to return to work within 1 to 2 weeks after surgery. For any type of therapy, you may need to rest for a few days until you can resume your normal activities.
Your medical team will give you special instructions to care for yourself at home after each type of treatment. The instructions may include a special diet, exercises, medications to take, restrictions, and wound care (for surgical procedures).
You may also need to attend regular checkups to ensure that cancer has not come back.
Treatment for thyroid cancer is safe and effective. In many cases, it can cure thyroid cancer completely. However, cancer may still come back even after treatment.
All types of thyroid cancer treatment carry some potential risks and side effects, including infection, bleeding, and damage to the parathyroid glands, nausea, neck pain, and swelling.
Taking part in a clinical trial of newer treatments can be an alternative to the thyroid cancer treatments mentioned above. A clinical trial is a study used to develop new treatments for cancer.
Before surgery, your thyroid cancer may cause painful symptoms. It has a high risk of spreading to other areas of your body and may be life-threatening. Having thyroid cancer can decrease your quality of life. After successful treatment, your thyroid cancer may be cured completely.

Indonesia is a country in Southeast Asia, located between the Indian and Pacific oceans. It is the 4th most populous country in the world with over 260 million inhabitants. The country consists of more than 17,000 islands, which makes it the largest island country in the world. It is packed with beaches, volcanoes, tropical jungles, exotic animals, and culture. This wonderful country invites any adventurous traveler to explore its dramatic landscape. Today, Indonesia is also a potential medical tourism destination. Although it is not as popular as its neighboring countries such as Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand in terms of medical tourism, the country actually houses numerous excellent medical centers. Many of the medical practitioners are well-trained and can communicate in English. The medical centers are equipped with cutting-edge technology and offer a wide range of affordable treatments. Some of the most sought-after treatments are blepharoplasty, liposuction, and breast augmentation.
From busy metropolises, and sparkling beaches, to tropical rainforests, tourists will be able to find anything they want here.
Indonesia experiences an entirely tropical climate. The average temperatures can vary based on the area. Coastal areas have an average temperature of 28 °C, the inland and mountain areas have an average of 26 °C, and the higher mountain areas have an average of 23 °C. There are two seasons in the country, but the seasons can start differently in each region. Generally, June to October is the dry season and November to March is the rainy season. The dry season is influenced by the Australian continental air masses and has a slightly cooler temperature than the rainy season. Tourists can expect mostly sunny days, but there will be some short rain showers. The rainy season can be very humid, and wet, and has a significant amount of rain.
Indonesia is well-connected by airports in almost every region. However, the largest airports are Soekarno-Hatta International Airport in Jakarta and Ngurah Rai International Airport in Bali. Both airports serve domestic and international flights to major cities around the globe. There are budget airlines in almost every airport, including Air Asia, Citilink, and Wings Air. Domestic flights can be rather expensive but will make traveling around the cities a lot easier.
Getting around the islands of Java and Sumatra can easily be done by trains operated by PT. KAI. There are 5 classes of trains: economy, business, executive, priority, and sleeper. The economy class can be a little uncomfortable and crowded, but tourists can get around several cities for as low as $4. Since the country is an archipelago, tourists can also travel from one island to another by ferry boats (long-distance) and speed boats (short distances such as Bali to Lombok).
Most of the cities will have their own mode of transport. The most common mode of transport is taxis and buses. Taxis are normally metered, but some drivers refuse to use the meter and force tourists to pay a fixed fare. Tourists should avoid riding these kinds of taxis and always insist on using the meter. The most reliable taxi companies are Blue Bird and Express. Bigger cities like Jakarta have MRT, LRT, and KRL (local trains).
Citizens of 170 jurisdictions can visit and stay in Indonesia for up to 30 days. Visa on arrival is available for 68 countries including Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Nationals not listed in the visa exception agreement and visa on arrival need to obtain a visa before entering the country. It is advisable to check at your nearest Indonesia Embassy or Consulate for the visa policy. All visitors will need to have a passport valid for at least 6 months and a valid return ticket.
