What is the cure rate of thyroid cancer?

What is the cure rate of thyroid cancer? I believe this is a common question in the minds of all patients with thyroid cancer, and it is also the most concerned issue for the families of these patients. So today we will answer the doubts of the majority of thyroid cancer patients and their families. Let's take a look at the cure rate of thyroid cancer with me.

First, let's understand what kind of disease thyroid cancer is and what types of this cancer there are:

Thyroid cancer is the most common thyroid malignancy, accounting for about 1% of all malignant tumors in the body. Except for medullary carcinoma, most thyroid cancers originate from follicular epithelial cells. Thyroid cancer is mainly divided into the following types: papillary adenocarcinoma, follicular adenocarcinoma, medullary carcinoma, and undifferentiated carcinoma.

Among them, more than 90% of papillary adenocarcinomas can be cured after surgical treatment. Follicular adenocarcinoma has an 80% cure rate after surgery, and the survival rate is also very long. Medullary carcinoma has an 80% cure rate after surgery, and can survive for a long time if properly maintained. The fourth type of undifferentiated cancer is highly malignant thyroid cancer, accounting for about 8% of thyroid cancers. Most of the patients are elderly, with an average age of over 60 years old. The characteristic is that the mass in the front of the neck suddenly increases in size, and symptoms such as difficulty breathing, difficulty swallowing, and hoarseness quickly appear. The treatment effect is poor, there is little hope of cure, and the prognosis is poor.

The above is an introduction to the cure rate of thyroid cancer. The cure rate data mentioned above requires the joint efforts of patients and doctors. Only by actively cooperating with the doctor's treatment can thyroid cancer be cured as soon as possible. Only by fully following the precautions given by the doctor to arrange your daily life and diet can the cure rate of thyroid cancer patients be guaranteed. I hope everyone will keep it in mind.
