title: [Personal observations for diagnosis and radical surgical treatment of thyroid neoplasms].
abstract: Among 59 patients with thyroid cancer, we have analysed the diagnostic procedures as: ultra sonography, scintiscan, fine needle aspiration biopsy, intraoperative frozen section examination and extent of surgery. The cancer was often overlooked in patients with multinodular goitre. We suggest to perform total lobectomy on side with greater changes and subtotal lobectomy on the other side of thyroid gland, in patients with multinodular goitre. The decision whether to reoperate should depend on the final pathology report.
