Thyroid Cancer Treatment

At Chesapeake Oncology Hematology Associates, our oncologists and medical team can effectively treat thyroid cancer using one or more combinations of treatments. We offer the latest cancer treatments available in a comfortable treatment environment to ensure the best possible outcomes.


Most thyroid cancers can be treated surgically. There are two main types of thyroid cancer surgery. The first is total thyroidectomy, where the surgeon removes the entire thyroid gland along with lymph nodes adjacent to the tumor or in the neck/chest may also be removed.


The second is lobectomy/hemithyroidectomy, where only the side of the thyroid affected by the tumor is removed. This surgery is usually only performed on small, well-differentiated thyroid cancers that haven’t spread.



New radiation therapy techniques allow our highly skilled doctors at COHA to target tumors more accurately, ensuring the maximum amount of radiation to the cancerous cells with minimal damage to healthy ones. There are two forms of radioactive treatments for thyroid cancer.


The first is radioactive iodine for thyroid cancer, where the patient orally ingests a medicine containing radioactive iodine, which targets and kills the thyroid cancer cells. The second is external beam radiation that may be used against the remnants of a thyroid cancer tumor after surgery or cancers that don’t respond much to other treatments.


Our oncologists and medical team at Chesapeake Oncology Hematology Associates can effectively treat thyroid cancer with one or more treatment combinations. To ensure the best possible outcomes, we provide the most recent cancer treatments in a comfortable treatment environment.
