Children with thyroid cancer frequently appear with advanced illness, which may be explained by the fact that the thyroid gland in children is more vulnerable to radiation and carcinogenesis. Children with thyroid cancer had higher rates of distant metastases and lymph node metastases at the time of diagnosis than adults do, as well as recurrence. Despite these traits, thyroid carcinoma in children often has a favourable prognosis. Compared to adults, children and adolescents have a lower incidence of thyroid cancer, with 4-5 incidences per 100,000 people annually. Teenage girls are thought to be the group in which thyroid cancer is most often detected in paediatrics, where it is thought to be the second most prevalent malignancy. Childhood thyroid malignancies have greater risks of metastasis and recurrence than do adult thyroid cancers. Thyroid cancer is relatively curable for the majority of children and adolescents, though, and the prognosis for kids with thyroid cancer is typically quite good. The aim of treatment is to eradicate cancer while causing as few side effects as possible.
