Radiation treatment is frequently used y if the thyroid cancer is large or if there is metastasis. It is complicated and I need much more information, such as the size of the tumor, whether has it spread, margins of the tumor after removal. So is it effective depends? Dr. Norwood
It depends on the type of thyroid cancer, you should discuss it with your endocrinologist.
