Abstract
ALTHOUGH THYROID CANCER IS RELATIVELY UNCOMMON COMPARED TO OTHER CANCERS, THYROID REPRESENTS THE MOST FREQUENTLY LOCATION FOR MALIGN TUMORS WHEN IT COMES TO ENDOCRINE SYSTEM. WHEN IT COMES TO STATISTICS, THYROID CANCER IS MORE FREQUENT IN WOMEN THAT IN MEN WITH A RATIO OF 3:1 AND IT CAN OCCU R AT ANY AGE BUT WITH A HIGHER INCIDENCE OVER 30 YEARS OLD AND ITS AGGRESSIVENESS INCREASES SIGNIFICANTLY IN OLDER PATIENTS.8 THE “GOLDEN STANDARD” FOR THE TREATMENT OF THYROID CANCER REMAINS THE SURGERY, ALTHOUGH, THYROIDECTOMY OFTEN IS NOT ENOUGH SO THE TREATMENT MAY BE COMPLETED WITH RADIOTHERAPY, RADIOACTIVE IODINE, CHEMOTHERAPY OR HORMONE THERAPY. OVERALL, THE PROGNOSIS FOR MOST PATIENTS DIAGNOSED WITH PAPILLARY OR FOLLICULAR THYROID CANCER IS USUALLY AN EXCELLENT ONE.
