The survival time of malignant thyroid gland is related to the nature of the disease, and the specific life expectancy is difficult to be counted.
1. Shorter life expectancy: undifferentiated carcinoma of thyroid is relatively high in malignancy and poor in prognosis, but there is no exact answer to the specific survival time after operation, and there are many factors affecting it. There are many factors affecting the survival time after surgery, such as staging, surgery and postoperative auxiliary treatment, patients’ physical condition, mentality and other factors.
2. Longer life: among differentiated cancers, such as medullary carcinoma and papillary carcinoma, if found in time, they can be treated by surgery of thyroid gland itself and surgery of cervical lymph node dissection, and take levothyroxine sodium substitution therapy after surgery, which often have better prognosis, and some of them can even reach the effect of cure.
Thyroid tumors have a certain degree of danger, it is recommended that patients need to undergo relevant examinations to further clarify the nature of the tumor, and actively take appropriate treatment to avoid delaying the condition.
