Key treatment programs

Treatment approaches tailored to this cancer type

NUTRITION01

Low-Iodine Diet

Low-iodine diet before radioiodine therapy after thyroid cancer surgery, restricting iodine intake to maximize treatment effectiveness.

Thymosin α1 Therapy
IMMUNITY02

Thymosin α1 Therapy

A peptide hormone produced by the thymus that directly activates T-cells and NK cells to attack cancer cells. Plays a key role in restoring immune function after chemotherapy.

International clinical studies confirm T-cell and NK cell activation mechanisms

CIRCULATION03

Lymphatic Drainage Massage

Skilled therapists massage along lymph vessels to assist lymph circulation. Essential for treating post-surgical lymphedema; untreated lymphedema can cause lifelong pain and nerve tingling.

Selenium Therapy
RESISTIBILITY04

Selenium Therapy

An essential mineral with approximately 2,000 times the antioxidant power of vitamin E. Has mechanisms for suppressing free radicals, preventing DNA damage, and inducing cancer cell death.

Multiple studies confirm reduced chemotherapy toxicity and improved immune function with selenium supplementation

undefined
RESISTIBILITY05

Placenta Extract (Laennec/Melsmon)

Human placenta extract (Laennec/Melsmon etc.) with cell regeneration, immune regulation, and liver function improvement effects. Used to shorten post-surgical recovery periods.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to take hormone medication for life after thyroidectomy?

After total thyroidectomy, levothyroxine (T4) is taken for life. For hemithyroidectomy, it depends on the remaining function. We guide medication management remotely even after you return home.

Can I get a low-iodine diet in Korea?

Yes, the Immune Hospital chef team provides a tailored low-iodine diet before radioactive iodine therapy.

How is the neck scar managed?

A dedicated nurse teaches the scar care protocol and explains how to use compression bandages and silicone patches.

Will voice problems recover?

In cases of temporary nerve damage, most recover within weeks to months. We carry out a voice rehabilitation program alongside.
