Thyroid cancer is cancer that develops in the butterfly-shaped thyroid gland at the front of the neck. Prognosis varies greatly by type; papillary carcinoma, which accounts for more than 90% of thyroid cancers in Korea, grows slowly and responds well to treatment, so its outlook is relatively favorable. However, some rarer types have a poorer prognosis, so please be sure to decide on an accurate diagnosis and treatment through a medical specialist.2026-06-26
