The 5 year survival rate for aplastic carcinoma of the thyroid is 7-14%. The 5 year survival rates of papillary, medullary, and follicular thyroid carcinomas are close to 100% for stage I cancers. Survival rates decrease to approximately 50% for stage IV papillary and follicular carcinomas and 28% for stage IV medullary carcinoma.

Peripheral neuropathy is a common condition among elderly diabetic patients. Due to the loss of sensation in fingers, arms, legs, and toes, these patients must be aware of their surroundings, use proper foot care, inspect feet daily (with a mirror if the patient is elderly or has decreased joint mobility), wear well-fitting shoes, avoid heating pads on feet, avoid walking barefoot, and cut toenails straight across without rounding corners. It is also important for the patient to avoid exercise when their condition is poorly controlled due to the increased demand for glucose. This patient must be sure to check the temperature of baths before using them, as the potential for burns is high in those with decreased sensation and neuropathy.

Cystic fibrosis is a disorder that mainly affects the lungs, but also alters fat metabolism from a lack of pancreatic enzymes. The disorder is treated with pancreatic enzyme replacement, which is best absorbed when taken before meals or with food. The best diet for cystic fibrosis is low-fat and cholesterol-restricted with good sources of protein, such as fruit, vegetables, lean meats, and cereals. These patients must avoid fatty, marbled meats such as bacon, fatty foods such as avocado, egg yolks, and butter. During illness, patients with cystic fibrosis have higher calorie and protein demands.

Tap to reveal answer
Patients with Addison’s disease are more susceptible to becoming dehydrated and may lose salts more quickly than others. Because of this, it is important to make sure these patients have a well-rounded diet with an emphasis on fluids. Protein, whole grains, and fibers are routinely recommended in a healthy, balanced diet, but it is not recommended to have a sodium-restricted diet.
