Factors Influencing Duration

The age of the individual with thyroid cancer may affect disability. Generally, older individuals do not recover from this condition as easily as do younger individuals. The type of thyroid cancer, the stage of the disease, the presence of metastasis of the thyroid tumor, and the method of treatment may also influence the length of disability. If radiation or chemotherapy is used, a longer period of disability may be expected.

Differences may exist between the duration tables and the reference graphs. Duration tables provide expected recovery periods based on the type of work performed by the individual. The reference graphs reflect the actual experience of many individuals across the spectrum of physical conditions, in a variety of industries, and with varying levels of case management. Selected graphs combine multiple codes based on similar means and medians.
