Question 2

Is there a connection between optic nerve swelling ( papilledema) and thyroid cancer?

Accepted Answer

Typically not, but there could be a problem with the pituitary gland, or a metastatic lesion from the thyroid cancer.  Both would be unlikely, but possible.

Question 3

Is there a connection between those who have papillary thyroid cancer (total thyroidectomy) infertility issues, and early onset of perimenopause ?

Accepted Answer

Papillary thyroid cancer is not directly related to thyroid cancer.
Patient's require radioiodine treatment for papillary thyroid cancer, and these can be associated with infertility issues and early onset of premature menopause in some patients.Patient's with premature menopause need to discuss with her healthcare providers for possible hormone replacement.

Question 4

Is there a connection of recent 4 cm solid kidney mass(will be removed next week) and thyroid cancer 5 years ago(papillary with follicular variant)?

Accepted Answer

Patients who have survived  thyroid cancer have an increased risk of suffering a second malignancy, including renal cell carcinoma. A higher prevalence of genitourinary and kidney tumors has been reported in women with differentiated thyroid carcinoma.This association could be related to the specific treatment of the disease or to a genetic predisposition.

Question 5

Has thyroid cancer 20 years ago, had one lobe removed and am on synthroid (thyroxine).  now am obese and have psoriasis is there a connection?

Accepted Answer

If you weren't on enough synthroid, (thyroxine) it would make you more likely to gain weight. But your doctor has probably been monitoring your level through a simple blood test, so it would be unlikely to be the cause.

I know of no connection with your described situation and psoriasis.

Question 6

I have a ball about the size of a newtons cradle ball on my right testicle, no pain and normal urination, it is firm and no movement from its connection to the testicle, i get scared coz dad has liver cancer and mum has thyroid cancer, no cancer i h?

Accepted Answer

I believe this is not a malignant mass.  What you are describing sound like a mass in the epididymis.  This most likely is a cyst, but you need a thorough exam and probably a testicular scan and ultrasound.  I would suggest that you follow up with you PCP or a urologist.

Question 7

I've severe acid reflux can it cause 1 lingual tonsil more enlarged than other had previous thyroid cancer scared of throat cancer or base if tongue?

Accepted Answer

Severe reflux can result in the development of barrett's esophagus; which has an increased incidence of developing esophageal cancer.  Upper endoscopy is a simple method for evaluating any esophageal disease.  If your problem is severe, you should be on some form of acid blockade such as omeprazole.  You may even benefit from some type of antireflux surgery.

Question 8

Is there any link between oral cancer and thyroid cancer? had papillary thyroid cancer now suspicious white/red patch on gums that needs biopsy

Accepted Answer

Not aware of any link, but if you have a lesion in your mouth that is different from your normal looking gum, go see a doctor or dentist.

Question 9

Is there a correlation between breast cancer and thyroid cancer or other hormone conditions?

Accepted Answer

There is no correlation with hypo or hyperthyroidism.  Very rarely, there can be families with breast and thyroid cancer, but these families are very rare. Neith cancer causes the other in a given individual.
