What are the survival rates for thyroid cancer?
Thyroid cancer is generally associated with very high survival rates. The prognosis for thyroid cancer is often favorable, with the majority of patients surviving the disease. Survival rates can vary depending on the specific type and stage of thyroid cancer. Here are some general survival rate statistics: Papillary Thyroid Cancer: Papillary thyroid cancer, the most common type, has a high survival rate. The 5-year relative survival rate for localized papillary thyroid cancer is approximately 99%, meaning that almost all patients with localized disease are alive 5 years after diagnosis. Even for regional (spread to nearby lymph nodes) or distant (metastatic) disease, the 5-year survival rate remains relatively high at around 93%. Follicular Thyroid Cancer: Follicular thyroid cancer also has favorable survival rates. The 5-year relative survival rate for localized disease is approximately 97%. For regional disease, it's about 86%, and for distant disease, it's around 67%. Medullary Thyroid Cancer: Medullary thyroid cancer has slightly lower survival rates compared to papillary and follicular types. For localized disease, the 5-year relative survival rate is around 98%. For regional disease, it's about 89%, and for distant disease, it drops to approximately 41%. Anaplastic Thyroid Cancer: Anaplastic thyroid cancer is the most aggressive form of thyroid cancer, and survival rates are much lower. The 5-year relative survival rate for this type is generally less than 10%, and many cases are fatal.

The radioiodine eventually kills thyroid cells. This helps patients with an overactive thyroid by slowing down the production of thyroid hormones.
