Life expectancy of papillary thyroid cancer

Thyroid cancer itself has many types, and papillary thyroid cancer is one of them. Many patients with papillary thyroid cancer are very worried about their lifespan. They are afraid that this disease will affect their lifespan, and they worry every day whether they will not live long. Today we will learn about the lifespan of papillary thyroid cancer.

When it comes to the life expectancy of papillary thyroid cancer, let's first understand the approximate cure rate of this type of thyroid cancer:

Papillary thyroid cancer: It accounts for the vast majority of thyroid cancers, about 60 to 70 percent, and is more common in women and those under 40 years old. It is less malignant, progresses slowly, and has a good prognosis. After surgical treatment, more than 90 percent of patients can survive for a long time.

That is to say, through the doctor's treatment, papillary thyroid cancer will not affect a person's overall life span in most cases. However, the doctor's treatment is only part of the life span factors of papillary thyroid cancer patients. The other part depends on the patient himself. Many thyroid cancer patients, after treatment, cannot fully follow the doctor's instructions for daily health care, do not control their diet, smoke, drink, eat spicy food, and even stay up all night, lack of sleep, and excessive indulgence. These factors will lead to papillary thyroid cancer and shorten the patient's life span.
