A member asked:
Could male breast cancer reoccur in the thyroid after eight years of mastectomy, radiotherapy and chemotherapy?

Unlikely: Unlikely but breast cancer can go anywhere. Primary thyroid cancer would be much more likely.

Possible ???: This would be an unusual place for recurrence of male breast cancer to recur. Often ct scans or other studies will show a lesion in the thyroid that is unrelated. I would check with my oncologist.
