MSK Recommends

Bring these questions to your next appointment

When you learn you have thyroid cancer, you’ll probably have many questions for your cancer doctor at your first visit. Talking about treatment options with your doctors can help you feel confident when making decisions about your care. 

  • What type of thyroid cancer do I have, and what stage is it?
  • Did I have all the scans I need to learn the stage?
  • What genetic testing do you offer for thyroid cancer?
  • What are the best treatment options for the type and stage of thyroid cancer I have?
  • When can I start treatment?
  • Can I get thyroid cancer treatment at MSK close to my home?
  • What are the risks and side effects of thyroid cancer treatment?
  • Are there new thyroid cancer drugs I can try?
  • Do you have a clinical trial that’s right for me?
