Abstract:
Reporting the results of a retrospective study on 101 cases of carcinoma of the thyroid gland, treated in our Service between 1979 and 1998. Analysis of the several anatomopathological variables found, the surgical treatment and also with radioactive isotopes, the complications and the condition evolution. Epidemiologically 82 percent of patients were women and men the 18 percent. Middle age 51 years. 12 percent of patients had familiar antecedents of thyroid pathology. The histological types found were: papillary carcinoma (74.26%), follicular carcinoma (14.85%), Hürthle's cellules carcinoma (3.96%) and anaplastic carcinoma (2.97%). In our Service elective treatment of thyroid gland carcinoma is total thyroidectomy with neck dissection in 18.3 percent of affected. The survival rate amount for 81.3 percent at five years. The aim of this article is to display the therapeutics and evolution of thyroid gland cancer, based in our own 18 years of experience acquired in the Service.

Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
