    Yes, it is possible to stop growth of Papillary Thyroid Cancer, if distant metastasis hasn’t occurred yet. Treatment modalities available to cure Papillary Thyroid Cancer include thyroidectomy (thyroid gland removal), lobectomy (thyroid lobe removal) and radioactive ablation therapy. Post-thyroidectomy, patients need to take thyroid hormone pills (levothyroxine) daily. Close monitoring of such patients is advised both per and post operatively.

    Papillary thyroid carcinoma occurs predominantly in middle-aged adults with a 3 to 1 female-to-male ratio, and the median age at presentation is 50 years. Even though rare in children, PTC is still the most common pediatric thyroid malignancy. It affects Whites more commonly than Blacks.
    The death rates (0.5 per 100,000 male and female per year) did not change significantly. The 5-year relative survival remains quite high at 98.3 percent (2011 to 2017 data). The precise reasons for the increase, apparent plateau, and subsequent decrease in incidence rate in papillary thyroid cancer are unknown.
