A member asked:
My mom has an overactive thyroid, and she recently had surgery to remove a cancerous tumor out of her neck(caught early). could the cancer come back?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See details: That is impossible to answer without knowing specifics about tumor size and the precise makeup of the tumor. However, any cancer has the possibility of recurring.
