The impact of recent medical advances on disease presentation, extent of surgery, and disease specific survival (DSS) for patients with medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) is unclear. We used the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results registry to compare trends over three time periods, 1983–1992, 1993–2002, and 2003–2012. There were 2,940 patients diagnosed with MTC between 1983 and 2012. The incidence of MTC increased during this time period from 0.14 to 0.21 per 100,000 population, and mean age at diagnosis increased from 49.8 to 53.8 (p<0.001). The proportion of tumors ≤1cm also increased from 11.4% in 1983–1992, 19.6% in 1993–2002, to 25.1% in 2003–2012 (p<0.001), but stage at diagnosis remained constant (p=0.57). In addition, the proportion of patients undergoing a total thyroidectomy and lymph node dissection increased from 58.2% to 76.5% during the study period (p<0.001). In the most recent time interval, 5-year DSS improved from 86% to 89% in all patients (p<0.001), but especially for patients with regional (82% to 91%, p=0.003) and distant (40% to 51%, p=0.02) disease. These data demonstrate that the extent of surgery is increasing for patients with MTC. DSS is also improving, primarily in patients with regional and distant disease.
