Late prognosis of childhood and juvenile thyroid carcinomas.
The authors report on the biological properties and late prognosis of 16 children and juvenile patients operated on during the past 24 years for thyroid tumour who underwent regular followup. The clinical and morphological characteristics of the carcinomas are described, together with the late immune response of the patients undergoing complex treatment.
