[Surgical aspects of radicalism in the treatment of the thyroid gland cancer].
The results of surgical treatment of 149 patients, suffering differentiated cancer of the thyroid gland (CTG) and 89--with medullar pathology were analyzed. In differentiated CTG the recurrence after performance of subtotal resection of the organ had occurred in (41.2 +/- 12.3)% observations, after thyroidectomy performance without cervical lymph nodes (LN) dissection--in (31.1 +/- 5.9)%, after thyroidectomy with LN dissection--in (11.3 +/- 3.8)%. The operation radicalism for differentiated CTG secures, as minimum, by application of thyroidectomy with central LN dissection. For optimization of indications for dissection of lateral and mediastinal LN diagnostic lymphadenectomy is performed or the process stage is analyzed. Radicalism of surgical intervention for medullar cancer necessitates as minimal procedure thyroidectomy, dissection of central and also, for prophylaxis, lateral LN during the first stage of the operation, securing in 60% of patients the treatment radicalism. While application of radical surgical tactics only during performance of subsequent (for recurrence) operations the essential lowering of calcitonin level is observed only in 17.6% of patients.
