Carcinoma of the thyroid gland: A clinical and pathologic study

Abstract A series of ninety patients with carcinoma of the thyroid was studied from the pathologic and clinical standpoint. Postoperative survival is distinctly less in the anaplastic carcinomas. Salient clinical features suggestive of malignancy include a nodular goiter under the age of twenty, recent growth, vocal cord paralysis and the presence of a single nodule. Radical thyroidectomy is the preferable treatment, with roentgen therapy or radioactive iodine being reserved in general for inoperable recurrences or metastases.
