Hypothetically
Have you undergone the thyroidectomy (full or partial) and neck dissection? How responsive to the radiation (assuming iodine based) and chemotherapy do they think it is? What are the multiple sessions for? Spot radiation or chemo instillation? Is the 98% curative rate with only surgery? I assume surgery + chemo.  Previous Message
And they have to use kinase inhibitors, surgery, and radiation.
I just made all of that up
