A member asked:

What to do if i have thyroid cancer that spread to my chest. any suggestions?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. John Yim answered

There are options.: The standard treatment, if the thyroid cancer that spreads to the chest takes it up, is radioactive iodine. Otherwise there are drugs called tkis such as vendetanib which can help control the disease. There will almost certainly be more treatments in the future.
