The prognosis for MTC varies depending on several factors:
Stage at Diagnosis: Early-stage MTC has a better prognosis compared to advanced stages. Genetic Factors: Sporadic cases of MTC generally have a better prognosis than familial cases. Response to Treatment: Complete surgical removal of the tumor significantly improves outcomes.
Overall, the 10-year survival rate for MTC ranges from 75-85%, but this can be lower in cases with distant metastasis.
