This website has
provided a summary of the thyroid gland and the diseases that it
can develop. Most of these diseases can be properly managed and
effectively controlled if the patient is well informed and
cooperates in his treatment. After initial treatment, yearly
follow-up visits are usually all that is required for adequate
long term management.
Since twentieth century medicine is changing so rapidly (almost monthly), it is hard to keep up with all the changes that occur. Most medical books are dated by the time they are published. The Internet, however, gives fast access to up-to-date information. Please look for thyroid patient related links in EM Pharma's Internet homepage. |
