title: [The survival curves of 153 cases of thyroid cancer].
abstract: A study is presented on the stage by stage survival curves in 153 cases of thyroid carcinoma observed over 15 years in Ancona Regional Hospital's General Surgery Division. The study reveals that prognosis is good in the first stage, but that neither surgery nor medical or radiological treatments is effective in preventing the deaths of incurable patients at later stages. It is therefore concluded that early surgery is more useful than any operations conducted at later stages.
