You havent mentioned the site of the tumor. I am assuming its in the thyroid gland. If that is the case, then the only treatment for papillary carcinoma of the thyroid gland is surgical removal of the entire thyroid gland. This should not be a problem even with the associated conditions that she has. At a tertiary care centre like the one where I work, its a routinely done surgery and rarely associated with complications. There is no other curative treatment for this condition.
