Prognosis
The overall 5-year survival rate for follicular thyroid cancer is 91%, and the 10-year survival rate is 85%.By overall cancer staging into stages I to IV, follicular thyroid cancer has a 5-year survival rate of 100% for stages I and II, 71% for stage III, and 50% for stage IV.Compared to other variants of Follicular cell derived thyroid cancer, bone metastases are commonly associated with follicular carcinoma. In the present study a high rate of bone metastases of 34% was observed. References

Cardiofaciocutaneous (CFC) syndrome is an extremely rare genetic disorder, and is one of the RASopathies. It was first described in 1986.It is characterized by the following:

Distinctive facial appearance
Unusually sparse, brittle, curly scalp hair
A range of skin abnormalities from dermatitis to thick, scaly skin over the entire body (generalized ichthyosis)
Heart malformations in over 75% of patients (congenital or appearing later), especially an obstruction of the normal flow of blood from the lower right ventricle of the heart to the lungs (valvar pulmonary stenosis)
Growth delays
Feeding problems associated with severe gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
Foot abnormalities (extra toe or fusion of two or more toes)
Intellectual disability
Failure to thrive

Presentation
Head
Individuals with the disorder usually have distinctive malformations of the craniofacial area including an unusually large head (macrocephaly), prominent forehead, and abnormal narrowing of both sides of the forehead (bitemporal constriction); The nose can be upturned and short with a low nasal bridge; and large ears that are abnormally rotated toward the back of the head. In many cases, affected individuals also have downward slanting eyelid folds, widely spaced eyes, drooping of the upper eyelids, inward deviation of the eyes, and other eye abnormalities including absent eyebrows and eyelashes. Gastrointestinal system
Genetic
Costello and Noonan syndrome are similar to CFC and their phenotypic overlap may be due to the biochemical relationship of the genes mutated in each syndrome. Genes that are mutated in all three of these syndromes encode proteins that function in the MAP kinase pathway. Mutations that cause CFC are found in the KRAS, BRAF, MEK1, and MEK2 genes.
