What you want is also important when planning treatment. When deciding which treatments to offer for thyroid cancer, your healthcare team will consider:
- the type of thyroid cancer
- the stage
- the risk group
- possible side effects
- your age
- your overall health
- any medical problems you have
- your lifestyle and what you prefer or want
