Patient's question:
My aunt's husband was carefully diagnosed with thyroid cancer two years ago and has been undergoing chemotherapy ever since, but the treatment hasn't been effective. What is the survival rate after thyroid cancer surgery?Doctor's answer:
Thyroid cancer is relatively mild among various types of cancers. The malignancy levels of different medullary thyroid cancer cases vary greatly. Some can remain stable for over ten years, even in a hidden state, while others are highly aggressive with a high mortality rate. Overall, the 10-year survival rate for medullary thyroid cancer is 75%. Thyroid cancer has a significant impact on patients. Once symptoms are detected, it is important to seek medical attention promptly and pay close attention to self-care, such as eating more fruits and vegetables and avoiding foods.
