title: [Thyroid cancer. Prognostic factors].
abstract: The outcome of 126 patients with cancer of the thyroid gland was reviewed. Factors affecting prognosis were evaluated and compared with data available in the literature. The two determinant factors were histological type and local extension and metastasis; they correlated closely with age at the time of diagnosis. In this study sex and cervical lymph node involvement were unrelated to survival.
