Overview
Natural History
Complications
Prognosis
- Prognosis of follicular thyroid cancer is directly related to tumor size.
High Risk
- Women older than 50 with follicular carcinoma
- Men older than 40 with follicular carcinoma
- Distant metastasis
- Large tumor size
- Extensive vascular invasion
- Extra thyroidal extension
- Widely invasive tumors
Intermediate Risk Group
- Women older than 50 with papillary carcinoma
- Men older than 40 with papillary carcinoma
Low Risk Group
- Children
- Adolescent
- Women younger than 50
- Men younger than 40
5 year Relative Survival Rate
- 5 year relative survival rate of follicular thyroid cancer depends on the stage of the disease at the time of diagnosis.
- Stage 1 has 100% 5 year relative survival rate
- Stage 2 has 100% 5 year relative survival rate
- Stage 3 has 71% 5 year relative survival rate
- Stage 4 has 50% 5 year relative survival rate
