What is the basic life expectancy of patients with thyroid cancer?

With the development of society, various pollutions are becoming more and more serious, and thyroid cancer patients are becoming more and more common. What is the basic life expectancy of thyroid cancer patients? This is also the most concerned issue for thyroid cancer patients. In fact, the life expectancy of thyroid cancer patients varies from person to person. Different patients have different physical fitness and resistance, which generally does not affect their life expectancy. Therefore, patients do not need to worry too much about this.

Thyroid cancer is composed of several tumors with different biological behaviors and different pathological types, mainly including papillary adenocarcinoma, follicular carcinoma, undifferentiated carcinoma, and medullary carcinoma. Their age of onset, growth rate, metastasis pathway, and prognosis are obviously different. For example, the 10-year survival rate of papillary adenocarcinoma after surgery is nearly 90%, while the course of undifferentiated carcinoma is very short, generally only surviving for a few months. 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.

This depends on the patient's physical condition and willpower. In addition, the choice of treatment method directly determines the patient's survival period and quality of life. How long a thyroid cancer patient can live depends on the patient's condition, physical fitness, treatment method and other factors. It is difficult to determine how long they can live. It is recommended that patients actively treat the disease with biological treatment methods. This technology is effective and can effectively prevent the recurrence and metastasis of tumors, reduce the pain of patients, and prolong the life of patients.

Since thyroid surgery is prone to surgical complications such as hoarseness and hypocalcemia, the scope of surgical resection needs to be determined based on the patient's condition and medical technology conditions, and must comply with the principles of tumor resection. At the same time, efforts should be made to preserve nerve functions and improve the patient's quality of life.

After surgery, patients with thyroid cancer can basically eat and work normally, and should appropriately control iodine-rich foods, avoid excessive fatigue, and avoid smoking and drinking. It is necessary to pay attention to thyroid examinations, including imaging and thyroid function tests, and seek medical attention in a timely manner if abnormalities are found.
