title: [Surgical therapy of differentiated thyroid gland carcinoma].
abstract: Surgical excision is the treatment of choice for differentiated thyroid carcinoma. Because no prospective randomized clinical trials are available, decisions regarding the extent of surgical resection and the mode of lymph node dissection must be made on the basis of imperfect retrospective data. Recommendations for surgical strategy in differentiated thyroid cancer are discussed.
