Abstract

Thyroid cancer is a relatively rare but significant malignancy in pediatric populations, with increasing incidence rates observed in recent years. As advancements in treatment modalities improve survival rates, the focus has shifted towards understanding and enhancing the quality of life (QoL) in pediatric thyroid cancer patients. This review aims to explore the utility and significance of thyroid cancer-specific QoL assessments as valuable tools for evaluating the well-being of pediatric patients undergoing treatment and survivorship.
