Since 2002, thyroid US has become an optional workup in health promotion programs at most hospitals in Korea, meaning that people can easily undergo US screenings at a cost of $30-$50, which has led to an abrupt increase in the detection and treatment [e-ultrasonography.org]

Treatment Options by Stage For information about the treatments listed below, see the Treatment Option Overview section. [cancer.gov]

Treatment varies depending on the type of tumor. [uclahealth.org]

Endocrine surgeon Peter Angelos, MD, is an internationally respected authority on the treatment of endocrine cancers. [uchospitals.edu]

Staging determines what type of treatment you’ll receive. There are five types of standard treatment options. They are: Surgery: A surgeon may remove your tumor or the kidney, adrenal gland, and nearby lymph nodes. [healthline.com]

Determine the toxicity of this treatment in these patients. II. Determine the pharmacokinetic profile of this treatment in these patients. III. Determine the progression-free and overall survival of these patients. IV. [clinicaltrials.gov]

Therefore, the increase in the number of lymph node metastases may increase the risk for a worse prognosis. Results of clinical studies indicate that older patients who have lymph node metastases have a worse prognosis than younger patients. [hindawi.com]

Early detection is crucial for improving the prognosis but challenging because symptoms often appear late in the course of the disease. [amboss.com]

Prevention Different factors cause different types of cancer. Researchers continue to look into what factors cause this type of cancer, including ways to prevent it. [cancer.net]

Prevention: There is no known prevention. Awareness of risk (such as previous radiation therapy) can allow earlier diagnosis and treatment. < Back to Thyroid Cancer [uclahealth.org]

Prevention Because most people with thyroid cancer have no known risk factor, it is not possible to completely prevent this disease. However, inherited cases of medullary thyroid cancer can be prevented and radiation to the neck is avoided. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]
