The prognosis of thyroid cancer is related to the type of cancer and the stage at the time of diagnosis. For the most common form of thyroid cancer, papillary, the overall prognosis is excellent with 97%, 95%, and 90% 10, 15 and 20 year overall survival respectively. [57] The 5 year survival of all thyroid cancers, with treatment, is 98%. [10]
Depending on source, the overall 5-year survival rate for medullary thyroid cancer is 80%, [16] 83% [17] or 86%, [6] and the 10-year survival rate is 75%. [16] By overall cancer staging into stages I to IV, the 5-year survival rate is 100% at stage I, 98% at stage II, 81% at stage III and 28% at stage IV. [18] The prognosis of MTC is poorer ...
The SCT is a radioiodine-refractory tumor. Radiotherapy might be effective in certain cases, resulting in relatively better survival rate and quality of life. Vincristine, doxorubicin and bleomycin are used for adjuvant chemotherapy, but their effects are not good enough according to publications.
Papillary thyroid cancer (magnified at right) arising within ectopic thyroid tissue of a thyroglossal cyst is a rare occurrence (less than 1% of such cysts). [ 38 ] According to Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER), the incidence of papillary cancer has increased from 4.8 to 14.9 per 100,000 from 1975 to 2012.

The overall 5-year survival rate of anaplastic thyroid cancer has been given as 7% [14] or 14%, [15] although the latter has been criticized as being overestimated. [15] Additional factors that affect prognosis include the person's age, the presence of distant metastases, the dose of radiation administered to the primary tumor and regional ...
Thyroid neoplasm is a neoplasm or tumor of the thyroid. It can be a benign tumor such as thyroid adenoma, [1] or it can be a malignant neoplasm (thyroid cancer), ...
In males, researchers suggest that the overall reduction in cancer death rates is due in large part to a reduction in tobacco use over the last half century, estimating that the reduction in lung cancer caused by tobacco smoking accounts for about 40% of the overall reduction in cancer death rates in men and is responsible for preventing at least 146,000 lung cancer deaths in men during the ...
