[Cancer of the thyroid gland and its treatment].
The authors analyzed data concerning 322 patients suffering from carcinoma of the thyroid gland subjected to complex therapy. Both immediate and remote results were traced. A conclusion was drawn that objective assessment of the clinical manifestation of the disease and comparison with the results of the auxiliary methods of studies permitted to diagnose carcinoma of the thyroid gland in the great majority of the patients. The macroscopic picture of the removed tissue and express biopsy aided the diagnosis. Treatment of carcinoma of the thyroid gland should be complex. The leading role is played by thyroidectomy or resection of the gland. Depending on the patient's age, the extent of spread of the tumour and its morphological structure it is of expedience to combine surgical treatment with isotopic therapy, hormone- and chemotherapy.
