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]
Many children diagnosed with Hashimoto's disease will experience the same progressive course of the disease that adults do. [115] However, of children who develop anti-thyroid antibodies and hypothyroidism, up to 50% are later observed to have normal antibodies and thyroid hormone levels. [5]
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]
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.
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:
Levothyroxine, a drug used to treat hypothyroidism, can lead to reduced bone mass and density in older adults with normal thyroid levels, a small cohort study has shown.
