title: [Therapeutic approach in a case of papillary cancer of the thyroid gland. Apropos of 22 cases].
abstract: The authors report about a series of 22 papillary carcinomas of the thyroid gland. Among the operated patients, 6 underwent loboisthmectomy, 9 total thyroidectomy. For papillary carcinoma, a frequent cancer (1.3% of all cancers) dominating in women, the survival rate is virtually the same if the lesion is treated with maximal or conservative surgery. The results obtained with minimalist conservative procedures (decrease in morbidity, no recurrence) reinforces the authors' attitude, even more so as it corresponds to the data found in the literature.
