Genetic variations or altered Immune system has cogently effect on progression and development of thyroid cancer. A significant number of immune-reactive cells generating during thyroid cancer showing its pronounced function and inflammation. However differential thyroid cancer has distinct immunological properties due to their cause of origin. Frequently finding of tumor-associated lymphocytes as well as differential immunological markers from tumor specimen after surgery of thyroid cancer are explicit evident of immunological sensitivity to this. The nature of this lymphocytic reaction is not well understood and underlying genetics cause of thyroid cancer varies based on its histology. Various confliction has been associated between thyroid cancer and thyroid inflammation are highly debated in the literature. It has been evoked by various study that, both molecular and epidemiological data showing types of diseases are closely related and this association reinforces that the thyroid cancer progression are paramountly affect by immune system. The innate immune system provides an early first line of defense response that protects the host in a nonspecific manner. The cells involved are neutrophils, monocytes, macrophages and dendritic cells, which all interact with the adaptive immune system and play a prominent role in antitumor immune response by producing immune cells during prognosis of thyroid cancer. However, clinical and experimental research has shown that thyroid tumor escape from immune recognition and tumor-mediated suppression of antitumor immunity can pose a significant obstacle to successful thyroid cancer therapy. Here we are endeavoring immense knowledge of immunological aspects in differentiated thyroid cancer. We are including some evidential fact that immune response may be involved in thyroid cancer and may help to find more aggressive tumors. In this chapter, we discuss how significance of recent discovery of tumor markers to differentiated thyroid cancer, and how genetic variation and dysfunction of immune system to contribute thyroid cancer development and progression.
