    Area of Science:

    • Surgical Oncology
    • Endocrinology

    Background:

    • Large thyroid carcinomas often extend into the anterior mediastinum, posing surgical challenges.
    • Transcervical dissection offers limited exposure, risking incomplete tumor resection.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and indications of the transsternal surgical approach for managing extensive thyroid carcinomas.
    • To determine if this approach improves oncological outcomes and facilitates adjuvant therapies.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of patients undergoing transsternal surgery for thyroid carcinoma with mediastinal extension.
    • Partial median sternotomy was employed for tumor and lymph node/fatty tissue removal.
    • Sternal metastases were also addressed via the transsternal route.

    Main Results:

    • The transsternal approach was utilized in multiple patient groups, including those with mediastinal extension, lymph node involvement, and sternal metastases.
    • This approach facilitates radical extirpation of thyroid tumors and associated tissues.
    • Improved conditions for radioiodine and other adjuvant therapies were noted.

    Conclusions:

    • A more liberal indication for the transsternal approach is suggested for differentiated and medullary thyroid carcinomas.
    • This surgical strategy enhances the radicality of tumor removal, optimizing conditions for adjuvant treatments.
    • While not extending life for anaplastic types, it improves quality of life by alleviating mediastinal compression symptoms.
