Thyroid cancer is the most common endocrine malignancy worldwide, accounting for approximately 95% of all endocrine malignancies. The incidence of thyroid cancer has been steadily increasing over the past several decades, and it is now the fifth most common cancer among women in the United States.

The majority of thyroid cancers are well-differentiated and have an excellent prognosis. However, approximately 10% of thyroid cancers are poorly differentiated or anaplastic and have a much worse prognosis.

The management of thyroid cancer is complex and requires a multidisciplinary approach. The treatment of thyroid cancer typically involves surgery, followed by radioactive iodine therapy and/or thyroid hormone therapy.
