Postoperative examination shows no cancer cells and no metastasis to other parts; the physique is good and the recovery is fast. Generally, it does not affect the normal life span and can survive to about 80 years old.

3. Thyroid cancer is a common thyroid malignant tumor. If it is discovered late, the condition is relatively serious and has reached the late stage. Since cancer cells develop rapidly, they are easy to metastasize to other parts. If the treatment is not timely or improper, the disease cannot be controlled and relapses occur. The physical fitness is relatively poor and the treatment effect is limited, which usually affects the survival time and it is difficult to live to 80 years old.
