An estimated 1,590 people will die of thyroid cancer during 2009. Thyroid cancer is, however, considered one of the least deadly and most survivable cancers, and 5-year survival rates for thyroid cancer is almost 97%.

According to ThyCa (Thyroid Cancer Survivors' Association, Inc.) thyroid cancer is the fastest increasing cancer among men and women, affecting people from young children through seniors. The American Cancer Society estimates that there will be about 62,980 new cases of thyroid cancer in the U.S. in 2014. Thyroid cancer is usually treatable when detected early. However, some thyroid cancers are aggressive and difficult to treat.
It depends on what you mean. THE thyroid no. You need it to control metabolism. Thyroid cancer can be if left untreated. Thyroid disorders, no.
Not if detecte earlY

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.

There are actually several different types of thyroid disease. If the thyroid gland is secreting too much thyroxin, that is hyperthyroidism; if it is secreting too little thyroxin, that is hypothyroidism, and then there is thyroid cancer, worst of all.
which disease are you talking about as cervical cancer now has a half cure
Leukemia is important because it is a form of cancer and it is a deadly disease.
The disease that caused many people to die is Thyroid Cancer, according to doctors, and researchers.
My brother was an AWACs navigator and died at the age of 40 from thyroid cancer which became carcinomatosis throughout his entire body. he was treated for thyroid cancer but the disease had metastasized to his body. Therre should be an investigation if there are others out there who lost family members while serving their country.
Thyroid Cancer Canada was created in 2002.
