Carcinoma of the thyroid.

T T Alagaratnam, G B Ong

    The British Journal of Surgery
    |August 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary

    Total thyroidectomy is a common surgical approach for thyroid carcinoma. Extended procedures can cure advanced cases, and preoperative biopsy aids diagnosis, with papillary types and solitary nodules showing higher malignancy rates.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Surgical Oncology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Thyroid carcinoma management often involves surgical intervention.
    • Assessing the efficacy of different surgical approaches is crucial.
    • Understanding the trends in thyroid cancer subtypes is important for clinical practice.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the outcomes of total thyroidectomy for thyroid carcinoma.
    • To assess the role of extended thyroidectomy in advanced disease.
    • To analyze the utility of preoperative biopsy and the incidence of specific thyroid cancer types.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of surgical cases for thyroid carcinoma.
    • Analysis of total thyroidectomy and extended thyroidectomy procedures.
    • Evaluation of preoperative drill biopsy findings.
    • Assessment of histopathological data, including carcinoma subtype and nodule characteristics.

    Main Results:

    • Total thyroidectomy with lymph node excision was the standard surgical practice.
    • Extended thyroidectomy demonstrated curative potential in locally advanced thyroid cancer.
    • Preoperative drill biopsy proved to be a valuable diagnostic tool.
    • An increasing trend in papillary carcinoma and a high malignancy rate in solitary nodules were observed.

    Conclusions:

    • Total thyroidectomy is a primary surgical treatment for thyroid carcinoma.
    • Extended thyroidectomy offers a treatment option for advanced thyroid cancer.
    • Preoperative biopsy is recommended for goiter evaluation.
    • Increased incidence of papillary thyroid cancer and solitary nodule malignancy warrant attention.
