aku dan kanker tiroid

Bukan lapak jualan obat herbal. Bukan tempat promosi 'pengobatan' alternatif. Bukan jurnal ilmiah. Ini blog pribadi tentang kanker tiroid. Mendapat diagnosa kanker tiroid jenis papillary campuran varian follicular dan tall cell serta menjalani strumectomy dan RAI 131 pada tahun 2005. Kini hidup normal (normal untuk ukuran pasien tiroid) dengan bantuan tablet hormon tiroksin. Bila butuh informasi terkini dan tukar pendapat sesama pasien tiroid, silakan hubungi group PITA TOSCA di Facebook.

SPECT-CT can detect spread of cancer cells?

A hybrid single photon emission computed tomography-computed tomography (SPECT-CT) camera can accurately determine and locate the spread of cancer cells to nearby lymph nodes, say researchers from the University of Erlangen-Nürnberg, Germany.

Great! This means that doctors should now, I hope, be able to accurately distinguish between cancerous cells in regional lymph nodes and normal residual thyroid tissue directly after surgery.

Btw, teknologi apa ya yang sekarang dipakai di Indonesia untuk menangani kanker tiroid?
