The well-differentiated thyroid carcinomas include papillary and follicular thyroid cancers. Approximately 14,000 new cases of thyroid carcinoma are diagnosed in the United States annually, but there are only 1100 deaths annually from thyroid malignancies. This relatively good prognosis is attributed to the biology of thyroid carcinoma and the current methods of treatment. Current investigations are aimed at expanding our understanding of thyroid carcinoma biology and optimizing treatment in a cost-effective manner.
高分化甲状腺癌包括乳头状和滤泡状甲状腺癌。在美国，每年约有14000例新的甲状腺癌病例被诊断出来，但每年仅有1100人死于甲状腺恶性肿瘤。这种相对较好的预后归因于甲状腺癌的生物学特性和当前的治疗方法。目前的研究旨在扩大我们对甲状腺癌生物学的理解，并以具有成本效益的方式优化治疗。
