title: [Radical interventions in the treatment of thyroid carcinoma].
abstract: From 1970 to 1993, 196 patients with thyroid cancer were treated surgically. In 26 (13.2%) an invasion of local and regional structures was observed. Eighteen patients had papillary or follicular carcinoma and 9 anaplastic carcinoma. Tracheal invasion occurred in 11 cases and 7 patients underwent total thyroidectomy, segmental resection of the trachea (1-5 rings) and reanastomosis, associated preoperatively in 2 cases with Nd:YAG laser photocoagulation. Six of thirteen patients with muscle invasion are alive at 2-16 years follow-up; 3 patients with tracheal invasion died in less than 6 months and the others seem to be free of disease 6-14 years after operation.
