A member asked:

Is the survival rate for recurrent thyroid cancer the same as the initial diagnosis?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Thyroid cancer: Sorry to hear that. It depends on the type of thyroid cancer and how complicated/uncomplicated it is in your case. Refer to this link for more information and discuss with your oncologist : https://www.cancer.org/cancer/thyroid-cancer/detection-diagnosis-staging/survival-rates.html
