A member asked:

I am 51, i had papillary thyroid carcinoma stage 1.my tumour is 10 mm, no invasion,no metas. however i have braf v600e. what is my survival rate?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It should be good: Your tumor was quite small in size. So despite the tumor showing the BRAF mutation your prognosis should be good. Plan on living for many more years!. You have >90% chance of living to a normal span of life.
