Relative burden of cancer and noncancer mortality among long-term survivors of differentiated thyroid cancer in the US
In long-term surviving DTC patients, noncancer-specific mortality outweighed DTC-specific mortality irrespective of age and gender. For stage I and II patients, increased attention should be directed toward noncancer-specific mortality in postoperative follow-ups. Conversely, for stage III and IV patients, greater consideration should be given to DTC-related causes of death. In addition, for stage III and IV DTC patients, the risk of death from other cancers was significantly higher than for stages I and II.
