A member asked:
I had thyroid cancer less than a cm big and had a partial thyroidectomy. what are the chances that cancer could return/is already on the other side?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Thyroid cancer may come back (recur). Unlike other types of recurrent cancer, recurrent thyroid cancer is often cured, especially if it has spread only to the lymph nodes in the neck.Recurrent thyroid cancer or thyroid cancer that has spread (metastasized) to other parts of the body may be treated with surgery, radioactive iodine, radiation, or chemotherapy.
