According to the Cleveland Clinic, papillary thyroid cancer generally spreads slowly and more than 90% of adults go on to live at least 10 to 20 years post-treatment. Treatment.
Thyroid cancer accounts for less than 1% of cancer cases and deaths in the UK. Around 2,700 people were diagnosed with thyroid cancer in the UK in 2011, and around 370 people died from the disease in 2012. [70] However, in South Korea, thyroid cancer was the 5th most prevalent cancer, which accounted for 7.7% of new cancer cases in 2020. [71]
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), such as papillary, follicular, medullary or anaplastic thyroid cancer.

Papillary thyroid cancer (papillary thyroid carcinoma, [1] PTC) is the most common type of thyroid cancer, [2] representing 75 percent to 85 percent of all thyroid cancer cases. [1] It occurs more frequently in women and presents in the 20–55 year age group.
Medullary thyroid cancer is a form of thyroid carcinoma which originates from the parafollicular cells (C cells), which produce the hormone calcitonin. [1] Medullary tumors are the third most common of all thyroid cancers and together make up about 3% of all thyroid cancer cases. [2] MTC was first characterized in 1959. [3]

The list below details the likelihood of a cancer, if in a stage of advanced metastasis, to have spread to bone at time of death: [26] Breast: 65-75%; Prostate: 65-75%; Thyroid: 60%; Kidney: 20-25%; Lung: 30-40%; Given the high incidence of breast, lung and prostate cancer, these patients account for > 80% of patients with bone metastases.
