Thyroid & Breast cancer connection | Is it possible to get both cancers? | Dr. Amit Chakraborty

In today's video, Dr. Amit Chakraborty will discuss whether there is a link between thyroid cancer and breast cancer and if so, what should be done if a person is diagnosed with both. 0:05 Is there a connection between thyroid and breast cancer? When patients undergo a PET scan for breast cancer, their thyroid is often diagnosed as well. It is not always thyroid cancer, but the incidence is between 20% and 30%, with a genetic link. 0:50 What should be done if a thyroid lump is discovered during a full-body pet scan? You don't need to be concerned if it's in an early stage (Bethesda 1, 2, or 3), but you must keep a close eye on it. If the Bethesda is 4 or 5, the patient should have surgery and, if necessary, a frozen section, followed by completion surgery based on the frozen section. 1:20 What should a patient do if she has both thyroid and breast cancer? You should not be alarmed if you or a family member develops breast and thyroid cancer at the same time. Thyroid cancer is extremely treatable, curable, and has a favorable prognosis. Both cancers can be treated concurrently, and the outcomes for both diseases are very good if the stage is early.
