A member asked:
What is the typical time someone lives with stage 4c thyroid cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Difficult answer: Survival depends on many factors including the type of thyroid cancer, the degree of aggressiveness, the age and health of the patient, the response to treatment. Statistical studies show that about 50% of patients survive more than 5 years. Your doctor can better estimate based on the above factors. There are also new treatments available currently that will likely improve the survival rates.
