The table below provides a breakdown of 5-year survival rates by type of thyroid cancer and stage. The American Cancer Society has reported these rates based on data collected between 2012...
The SEER database tracks 5-year relative survival rates for thyroid cancer in the United States, based on how far the cancer has spread. The SEER database, however, does not group cancers by AJCC TNM stages (stage 1, stage 2, stage 3, etc.).
The 5-year relative survival rate for most types of localized thyroid cancer is over 99.5%. The exception to this is anaplastic thyroid cancer, which is much more aggressive. This article...
3 min read. If you have stage IV thyroid cancer, you may want to know about your prognosis -- an estimate of how serious the disease is and how it will affect you in the future. Your outlook...
The overall five-year relative survival rate for thyroid cancer is 98.5 percent. The National Cancer Institute SEER Program further bases the survival rate for thyroid cancers on how far the cancer has spread:
The average five-year survival rate for all stages of follicular thyroid cancer combined is 98%. Medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) is rare and aggressive. Only about 1% to 2% of all thyroid cancers are medullary. If caught early, survival rates are very high (better than 99.5%) for localized MTC.
What’s the thyroid cancer survival rate? Eight out of 10 people who have thyroid cancer develop the papillary type. Papillary thyroid cancer has a five-year survival rate of almost 100% when the cancer is in their gland (localized).
