Answer 1/1 - Submitted 1/8/2012

Most cases of thyroid cancer can be cured, often with surgery and sometimes with radiation or chemotherapy. If thyroid cancer has spread to the lymph nodes, the cancer could affect other parts of the body, metastasize and become much more difficult to treat. But again, most cases of thyroid cancer are curable.
