Cancer No Longer

This tumor, formerly called EFVPTC but now known as NIFTP, makes up about 10 to 20 percent of all thyroid cancer diagnoses in North America and Europe. It is reported that around 10,000 people in the United States are diagnosed with this thyroid cancer each year. With this new discovery, people who had been previously diagnosed with cancer are free from the now unnecessary treatments, such as thyroid removal and radioactive iodine treatments. Cancer diagnosis is terrifying for a patient to hear, and now, those who have this type of thyroid tumor won’t have to deal with that stigma.
