Papillary thyroid cancer is the most common type of thyroid cancer, and yet in rare cases, this cancer may originate in locations other than the thyroid glands. In this episode, host Aaron Lohr talks about causes, prevalence, and treatment for papillary thyroid cancer and the rare phenomenon known as ectopic papillary thyroid cancer with Nikita Dhir, MD, of University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston.
