What is the first main treatment for thyroid cancer?

The first main treatment for thyroid cancer is surgery. In this case, your doctor will try to remove part or all of the thyroid gland to effectively remove the bulk of the cancer cells. Your surgeon also may remove the lymph nodes near the cancer if they have known cancer cells or look suspicious. To kill the remaining thyroid cancer cells, patients need more treatment with radioactive iodine.
