title: Thyroid carcinoma in children and adolescents.
abstract: Carcinoma of the thyroid gland, although fairly common in young adults, is uncommon in the first two decades of life. Because therapy is controversial, it is important to study a relatively large group of patients treated in a single department. This report records the findings and responses to treatment in 40 cases of thyroid gland carcinoma in children and adolescents treated from 1953 to 1982.
