If I go with the 80% rule, majority of thyroid cancers are papillary thyroid cancer with 20 years survival in the 90%. Most papillary thyroid cancers are usually in the neck but can metastasize to local lymph nodes. A small minority metastasize to the lungs. Other less common organs can be bones, and much less likely brain.
