The treatment methods for thyroid cancer can be surgery, hormone therapy, radioactive iodine, chemotherapy, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When the thyroid gland has to be surgically removed and hormone replacement is applied immediately afterward, thyroid cancer patients will need calcium supplements to ensure their health.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11143 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/nutricare.com.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Anh-thumb-1.png\" alt=\" width=\" height=\"756\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thyroid cancer patients need calcium supplements when undergoing thyroidectomy<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Surgery is the removal of the tumor and some of the surrounding healthy tissue, which is the mainstay of treatment for thyroid cancer. One of the complications of thyroid surgery is the damages to nearby parathyroid glands. The parathyroid gland plays a role in regulating blood calcium levels, so surgery also affects the body&#8217;s calcium metabolism.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the absence of parathyroid hormone, the body cannot mobilize calcium from the bones, reabsorb calcium in the renal tubules or absorb calcium mediated by vitamin D. The consequences of parathyroid hormone deficiency are hypothyroidism, and the most common is primary hypoparathyroidism.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After thyroidectomy, the patient will be prescribed hormone replacement therapy and need to face the risk of bone health problems due to calcium deficiency. Therefore, patients should supplement calcium to help strengthen bones and prevent osteoporosis.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>How to supplement calcium for thyroid cancer patients?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Depending on the stage of treatment, the doctor will have appropriate indications on the diet for thyroid cancer patients. After surgery, the patient can add calcium-rich foods to the menu such as fish, shrimp, crab, almonds, kale, cheese, yogurt &#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, thyroid cancer patients with calcium supplements should also note that they should follow an iodine diet from 2 weeks before radioactive iodine treatment. While a strict iodine diet is limited to a short period of treatment, a calcium-rich diet needs to last a lifetime to prevent osteoporosis.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In fact, thyroid cancer patients often lose their appetite due to dysphagia. Therefore, the food for the patient needs to be cooked in a soft and pureed form such as porridge, soup, smoothie, etc. The patient can eat many small meals a day with a varied menu to ease the eating and feel more appetizing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Besides the main dishes, thyroid cancer patients can also add milk to the daily menu.
