Thyroid Cancer Statistics

  • Number of New Cases and Deaths per 100,000:

    • The number of new cases of thyroid cancer was 14.5 per 100,000 men and women per year:

      • In 2007 incidence from the SEER database showed the number of new cases of thyroid cancer was 11.99 per 100,000, men and women compared to only 4.85 per 100,000 in 1975.

    • The number of deaths was 0.5 per 100,000 men and women per year:

      • These rates are age-adjusted and based on 2011-2015 cases and deaths.

  • Lifetime Risk of Developing Thyroid Cancer:

    • Approximately 1.2% of men and women will be diagnosed with thyroid cancer at some point during their lifetime:

      • Based on 2013-2015 data.

  • Prevalence of Thyroid Cancer:

    • In 2015, there were an estimated 765,547 people living with thyroid cancer in the United States:

      • In 2007, the measured prevalence of thyroid cancer  was 434,256.

  • How Many People Survive Five Years Or More after Being Diagnosed with Thyroid Cancer?

    • Relative survival statistics compare the survival of patients diagnosed with cancer with the survival of people in the general population who are the same age, race, and sex and who have not been diagnosed with cancer:

      • Because survival statistics are based on large groups of people, they cannot be used to predict exactly what will happen to an individual patient.

      • No two patients are entirely alike, and treatment and responses to treatment can vary greatly.

Survival Statistics at 5 Years for Thyroid Cancer

  • Survival by Stage:

    • Cancer stage at diagnosis, which refers to extent of a cancer in the body, determines treatment options and has a strong influence on the length of survival:

      • In general, if the cancer is found only in the part of the body where it started it is localized (sometimes referred to as stage 1).

      • If it has spread to a different part of the body, the stage is regional or distant.

      • For thyroid cancer, 67.3% are diagnosed at the local stage:

        • The 5-year survival for localized thyroid cancer is 99.9%.
