[Prognosis of thyroid carcinoma (author's transl)].
Out of more than 5200 struma resections 2.2% were treated because of thyroid carcinoma. Over a 12 year' period records of 117 patients were analysed. Treatment consisted in radical thyroidectomy, radioactive iodine or radiation therapy and hormone-substitution. Differentiated carcinomas were observed more frequently, primarily extended disease decreased. The mean 5 year survival rate of differentiated tumours was 90%. Changing patterns in thyroid carcinoma, consequent postoperative care and modern radiotherapy after radical thyroidectomy without routine neck-dissection had a favourable effect on these results.
