Abstract:
With the increase of global thyroid cancer (TC) incidence, it is imperative to assess these patients′ health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Due to the general good prognosis of TC, it is often considered a " good" cancer, but this impression overlooks the associated morbidity. In recent years, various studies have evaluated the HRQoL of TC patients. In this paper, the relevant factors of HRQoL in patients with TC are summarized, including surgery, radioactive iodine therapy and endocrine therapy, and the current assessment tools are also summarized to provide clinical reference.
