    Background:

    • Thyroid cancer in children presents unique challenges.
    • Understanding long-term outcomes for pediatric thyroid cancer is crucial for treatment planning.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the treatment outcomes and survival rates of children diagnosed with thyroid cancer between 1959 and 1967.
    • To establish optimal treatment guidelines for pediatric thyroid cancer based on historical data.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 24 children under 15 years old with thyroid cancer.
    • Review of treatment modalities including surgery, hormone therapy, and irradiation.
    • Long-term patient follow-up averaging over seven years.

    Main Results:

    • A low mortality rate (1 death) despite a high incidence of lung (17%) and lymph gland (58%) metastases.
    • Successful management of advanced disease with combined therapeutic approaches.
    • Demonstrated feasibility of aggressive surgical and adjuvant therapies.

    Conclusions:

    • Total lobectomy and subtotal contralateral thyroidectomy are recommended surgical approaches.
    • Excision of cervical lymph nodes with metastases is advised.
    • Immediate postoperative thyroid hormone replacement is essential for optimal patient recovery and management.
