Thyroid cancers are especially common in patients who have received irradiation to the head and neck region for benign diseases. Well-differentiated papillary and/or follicular carcinomas are the most common types of thyroid cancer. They grow slowly and have a very good prognosis when managed with an appropriate combination of surgical and medical therapy. Other types of thyroid cancer often require more intensive therapy and follow-up. It is especially important to evaluate relatives of patients with medullary thyroid cancer.
甲状腺癌在因良性疾病接受头颈部放疗的患者中尤为常见。高分化乳头状癌和/或滤泡状癌是甲状腺癌最常见的类型。它们生长缓慢，通过手术和药物治疗的适当联合管理，预后非常好。其他类型的甲状腺癌通常需要更强化的治疗和随访。评估甲状腺髓样癌患者的亲属尤为重要。
