How long can you live after thyroid cancer surgery?

1. As the name suggests, thyroid cancer is a tumor that occurs in the thyroid gland. Its causes are generally complicated. For example, thyroid diseases, sex hormones, and X-rays may all lead to the occurrence of this disease. After becoming ill, surgical treatment is generally used.

2. Among malignant tumors, the prognosis of thyroid cancer is generally good. Many thyroid cancers have metastasized, but patients can still live for more than ten years. There are many factors involved in prognosis, such as gender, age, scope of lesions, pathological type, metastasis and surgical method, among which pathological type is the most important.

3. How long can a patient with thyroid cancer live? For patients with well-differentiated thyroid cancer, 95% can survive for a long time, especially papillary adenocarcinoma, which has good biological characteristics and the best prognosis. However, a few can also metamorphose into highly malignant undifferentiated cancer; undifferentiated cancer has the worst prognosis, and patients often die within half a year. Generally, 50% to 60% of early-stage patients can be cured by immunochemotherapy. If molecular targeted combined chemotherapy is used, the cure rate will be greatly improved, effectively prolonging the patient's survival.

4. The survival rate of thyroid cancer patients should be determined according to the severity of the patient's condition, because the survival rate of thyroid cancer patients is closely related to the patient's mentality, diet and daily precautions. If thyroid cancer patients want to continue their lives, they must maintain a good mentality and a happy mood.
