안녕하세요, 위드심의원 심정석 원장입니다.
저는 갑상선의 결절성 질환을 진료하는 영상의학과 전문의이자, 이화의료원 영상의학과 겸임교수로서 환자 진료와 후학 양성, 학술 연구를 병행하고 있습니다.
몸에서 아주 작은 장기인 갑상선만을 진료하며, 그중에서도 결절성 질환의 초음파 진단, 조직검사, 그리고 비수술적 인터벤션 치료라는 좁고 깊은 영역에 집중해 왔습니다. 한 분야에 매진해 온 덕분에 질환의 미세한 변화는 물론, 환우님들이 느끼시는 불안과 고민까지 깊이 이해할 수 있게 되었습니다.
최근 갑상선 결절의 진단과 치료는 상전벽해라 할 만큼 빠른 속도로 발전하고 있습니다. 정교한 총조직검사(중심침생검)와 고주파 절제술은 물론, 최근에는 최첨단 분자 및 유전자 돌연변이 검사를 통합하여 암 위험도를 예측하는 수준까지 도달했습니다.
그러나 이처럼 의학 발전의 속도가 빠르다 보니 과거의 기준과 최신 지침이 혼재되어, 환우님들께서는 "어느 의사는 이렇게 말하고, 어느 의사는 저렇게 말한다"며 감당하기 힘든 혼선을 겪으시곤 합니다.
가장 대표적으로 혼선이 발생하는 경우는 아래 4가지입니다.
초음파 검사 후 조직검사를 해야 하는지 여부
양성으로 진단된 결절을 고주파 절제술로 치료해야 하는지 여부
비정형이나 여포성 종양으로 진단된 결절을 수술해야 하는지, 아니면 경과 관찰만 해도 될지 여부
갑상선암으로 진단된 결절을 즉시 수술해야 하는지, 아니면 능동적 감시나 비수술적 치료 방식을 고려할 수 있는지 여부
이 사이트는 진료실 안에서의 짧은 만남만으로는 환우님들을 제대로 돌봐드릴 수 없다는 안타까움에, 진료실 밖에서 더욱 깊이 소통하고자 만든 공간입니다.
개원의로서, 그리고 대학병원 교수로서 쌓아온 전문성과 풍부한 임상 경험, 그리고 최신 정밀 의학 지식을 바탕으로 환우님 한 분 한 분께 가장 객관적이고 최적화된 진료 방침을 제시해 드리겠습니다.
