Can thyroid cancer spread to the gallblader ?

Highly unlikley: The gallbladder as a site for metastasis or spread from other cancers is almost unheard of.

Essentially no: I have treated over a thousand patients with thyroid cancer and have never had a patient with spread to the gallbladder. There are no reports in the literature regarding spread of thyroid cancer to the gallbladder.
