Thyroid cancer after the age of 60 is more dangerous, so we should be more vigilant and actively carry out related treatments. Compared with other malignant tumors, such as lung cancer, liver cancer, pancreatic cancer, etc., thyroid cancer has a higher 5-year survival rate, and most of the patients can achieve better therapeutic effect after actively adopting surgical resection, postoperative radiotherapy and thyroid hormone replacement therapy. For follicular thyroid cancer and papillary thyroid cancer, the treatment effect is better after surgical resection, and they should be actively treated by surgery; for medullary thyroid cancer and undifferentiated cancer, due to the higher degree of malignancy, they should also be actively treated. However, age is an important factor affecting the prognosis of thyroid cancer. People over 60 years old are at a higher risk because they are older, their physiological functions are reduced, and they are often accompanied by basic diseases, which make it difficult for them to tolerate surgical treatment, and the recurrence rate and death rate are relatively higher. If thyroid cancer is found after 60 years old, surgery should be carried out as early as possible if the body can tolerate it; if the patient cannot tolerate surgery or is in advanced stage, iodine 131 treatment and other corresponding treatments should be carried out to prolong the survival time and improve the quality of life.
