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. [58] The 5 year survival of all thyroid cancers, with treatment, is 98%. [10]
Depending on source, the overall 5-year survival rate for papillary thyroid cancer is 96 percent [33] or 97 percent, [20] with a 10-year survival rate of 93 percent. [33] For a more specific prognosis for individual cases, there are at minimum 13 known scoring systems for prognosis; among the more often used are:
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. [2] Most patients are 25 to 65 years of age when first diagnosed; women are more affected than men.
Researchers from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore, MD, showed that total body bone mass and density both decreased in adults over the age of 65 who received levothyroxine ...
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]
Hürthle cell neoplasm is a rare tumor of the thyroid, typically seen in women between the ages of 70 and 80 years old. When benign, it is called a Hürthle cell adenoma , and when malignant it is called a Hürthle cell carcinoma .
ATC is an uncommon form of thyroid cancer only accounting for 1-2% of cases, but due to its high mortality, is responsible for 20-50% of deaths from thyroid cancer. [2] The median survival time after diagnosis is three to six months. [2] Some studies report that 10% to 15% survive more than 1 year; 3-year and 5-year survival is very rare.
