Carcinoma of the thyroid with description of a new scanning technic.
American Journal of Surgery 1975 October
A statistical analysis of 193 patients with thyroid carcinoma encountered at Vanderbilt University Hospital from 1925 to 1974 is reported, from which the following conclusions are drawn: (1) Papillary thyroid carcinoma is an extremely favorable lesion that when grossly limited to one thyroid lobe can usually be managed successfully by ipsolateral total lobectomy. (2) Cervical lymph node enlargement in patients with papillary carcinoma requires lymph node dissection. When feasible, the spinal accessory nerve should be preserved. (3) Failure to cure papillary and follicular thyroid carcinoma is influenced by advanced age, inadequate local extirpation, and unresectability of the carcinoma. (4) Prophylactic lymph node dissection is rarely indicated in the treatment of follicular carcinoma. A new isotope scanning procedure, developed at Vanderbilt University Hospital, promises to be helpful in preoperatively differentiating benign from malignant solitary thyroid nodules.
