Advances in Diagnosis and Treatment of Thyroid Cancer

Abstract

Thyroid cancer is the most common type of endocrine malignancy and affects millions of people worldwide [1]. It is estimated that in the United States alone, over 52,890 adults will be diagnosed with thyroid cancer this year [2]. With recent advances in medicine over the last couple of years, access to more efficient imaging and diagnostic technology has led to a staggering increase in the number of people being diagnosed with thyroid cancer. In this paper, we will review the recent advances in thyroid cancer diagnosis and treatment through the use of novel diagnostic approaches and explore recently approved clinical drugs and trials for treatment.
