A member asked:
What are chances of papillary thyroid cancer spreading more once they reach lymph nodes? diagnosed january 2022, 2.2 cm nodule?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
For papillary thyroid cancer, among patients who undergo a modified radical neck dissection, up to 80 percent have lymph node metastases (half of which are microscopic) but only 2 to 10 percent of patients have metastases beyond the neck at the time of diagnosis.
