title: [Current state of the treatment of thyroid cancer].
abstract: Individually-tailored approach is recommended in designing the mode of treatment and extent of surgery for thyroid tumors. In cases of papillary and follicular tumors, the main therapy should be surgery to make sure that pre- and paratracheal fat is removed. Radical surgery on the neck is not indicated unless there are metastases. Combined treatment may be used in cases of medulla and poorly-differentiated cell cancer. Application of 131I may be recommended in cases of apparent metastasis or when there is no convincing evidence that surgery was radical enough since the 10-year data on treatment of differentiated cell cancer make up 90%.
