title: [Nodular goiter and thyroid cancer].
abstract: The author analyzes 151 cases of differentiated carcinoma of the thyroid gland and 112 cases of nodular nontoxic goiter. In 83.5% of patients with carcinoma of the thyroid gland there was no "goiter anamnesis", in 71.5% of the carcinoma patients the tumoral node was located in the unchanged tissue of the thyroid gland, in 28.5% the nodular goiter was found in the contralateral lobe and only in 10% of observations carcinoma took place against the background of the nodular goiter and adenoma. There is no reason to consider the nodular goiter as pre-cancer, and the surgical treatment of the nodular goiter as prophylaxis of carcinoma of the thyroid gland. The indications to operation for benign nodular formations of the thyroid must be restricted.
