Context:
- Differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) represents a significant portion of thyroid malignancies.
- Surgical management is a cornerstone of DTC treatment.
- The role of adjuvant therapies like radioisotopes requires careful consideration.
Purpose:
- To present surgical experience with differentiated thyroid carcinoma.
- To evaluate the necessity of radical treatment for DTC.
- To discuss the combined use of surgery and radioisotopes in DTC management.
Summary:
- Surgical interventions for differentiated thyroid carcinoma were reviewed.
