title: The management of thyroid swellings.
abstract: All cold solid nodules should be pursued relentlessly and all cancers of the thyroid, with the possible exception of anaplastic tumours, should be treated radically. The majority of differentiated cancers of the thyroid may carry a good prognosis but those which recur constitute a group of cases which are very difficult to manage and cure.
