title: [Surgical tactics in non-toxic nodular goiter].
abstract: Surgical policy in 246 cases of nodular euthyroid goiter was reviewed. Urgent histological examination of operative biopsy specimens of the removed thyroid tissue has disclosed subclinical thyroid cancer in 6.6% of the patients. The authors hold that surgical intervention is an effective measure in prophylaxis and early detection of thyroid cancer in clinical cases of nodular nontoxic goiter.
