A member asked:

Does thyroid cancer cause blood in stool?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. John Yim answered

Extremely Unlikely: A metastasis to the intestines or rectum can cause this but is extremely unlikely. More importantly, you should be evaluated for other causes of the blood in the stool.
