What are the best sites to learn about pulmonary thyroid carcinoma?!


Question: Our friend was just diagnosed w/ it after removal a lymph node in his neck. I do know they have said it is already spread but I am wondering how they know that. I want to learn about it w/out overwhelming him w/ questions. Next week he will get his thyroid biopsied. I am trying to find the cure rate and treatment options. He did say they know something he wrong w/ his liver too. I don't think it sounds good but would like to learn to see.
Thanks,
p.s. I am just one of those who likes to research and that is how I deal w/ things. My dad has prostate cancer and I learned alot about it and even taught him and we all helped him decide what treatment to get and so far he is in remission for a year.

they called it pulmonary-thyroid because it probably started in the lungs and is spreading toward the thyroid as evidenced by blood tests showing either greatly elevated or greatly diminished levels of the hormone the thyroid produces.
So start your research with lung cancer, and then metastasized lung cancer.

Webmd.com is a really good one.

eMedicine is a good site to do research. I found only four carcinoma's related to the thyroid. Anaplastic, Follicular, Medullary and Papillary. I included the link for Papillary in case you meant that instead of pulmonary. Although there are pulmonary related diseases with thyroid cancer usually through metastases. If that's the reason then that's how they know the cancer has spread.
