A member asked:

What are the odds of having stage 2b invasive ductal carcinoma her2 positive breast cancer and papillary thyroid cancer at age 40?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Odds are low.: But it is still possible to have both. Risk of having papillary thyroid before forty is about 13/100,000. Risk of having breast Ca is about 11/100,000. The overlap of the two independent events is slightly less than 1 in a million.
