Is papillary carcinoma is curable cancer ?

Dear Patient: Among thyroid cancers, Papillary thyroid cancer has a very good prognosis. The outcome depends on the size, and the age of the patient. In persons less than 45 years and size less than 4cm, you can expect 100% cure rates.

Even in older persons and larger size, thyroidectomy followed by radioiodine treatment has good cure rates. Radioiodine is available only in few centres in chennai. You can consult me for radioiodine ablation. Thank you
