摘要: 随着人们对健康的重视以及现代超声诊断技术的愈加成熟，甲状腺结节的诊出率越来越高，恶变率也明显增加，患者焦虑和恐惧心理由此增加。现代医学认为，定期随访观察是绝大多数良性甲状腺结节的主要干预手段。而越来越多研究报道中医药在改善患者症状、缩小甲状腺结节直径及增强体质等方面疗效显著。因此本文期望通过总结甲状腺结节中西医研究进展，以期在临床上根据患者的情况，选择和运用最适合的治疗方案，以延缓甲状腺结节的进展，降低恶变率。

Abstract: With the increasing emphasis on health and the maturity of modern ultrasound diagnostic tech-nology, the diagnostic rate of thyroid nodules is increasing, and the rate of malignant transfor-mation is also significantly increasing. As a result, patients’ anxiety and fear are increasing. Modern medicine believes that regular follow-up observation is the main intervention method for the vast majority of benign thyroid nodules. More and more studies have reported that traditional Chinese medicine has significant therapeutic effects in improving patient symptoms, reducing the diameter of thyroid nodules, and enhancing physical fitness. Therefore, this article aims to summarize the research progress of traditional Chinese and Western medicine on thyroid nodules, in order to se-lect and apply the most suitable treatment plan based on the patient’s condition in clinical practice, in order to delay the progression of thyroid nodules and reduce the rate of malignancy.
