Yes. It is practically impossible for a surgeon to remove every cell when performing a thyroidectomy. When taking thyroid hormone replacement medication following surgery, thyroid tissue that grows back will not be stimulated to produce thyroid hormone. However, if the patient discontinues medication after confirming regrowth, the new gland may start to overproduce. The result, hyperthyroidism all over again.

Can papillary thyroid cancer turn into anaplastic thyroid cancer if left untreated?
Anaplastic thyroid cancer usually arises from a site of preexisting papillary thyroid cancer or follicular thyroid cancer. The transformed cells that grow to form this type of cancer divide rapidly to form disorganized masses. Anaplastic thyroid cancer tends to grow very rapidly, replacing the normal tissue of the thyroid gland and spreading to invade and metastasize to other structures in the neck. It does not respond well to treatment. Surgery and external beam radiation therapy may be used to treat cases where aggressive growth of cancer has significantly impaired swallowing or breathing. On the whole, anaplastic thyroid cancer has a very poor prognosis.

Can medication treat an enlarged thyroid?
Yes. An enlarged thyroid gland can occur in two common conditions called hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism. Both conditions can be treated medically and/or surgically. For example, primary hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid gland) can be treated by administering synthetic thyroid hormone (called levothyroxine). This decreases the signals from the brain that tell the thyroid to grow and work harder, consequently decreasing the size of the gland.
