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]
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]

Prognosis [ 3 ] This depends upon type and stage but most thyroid cancer has a good prognosis with 90% survival at 10 years, higher in young people without local or metastatic spread.[patient.info]

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]
