title: Contemporary surgical management of non-medullary thyroid malignancy.
abstract: This article reviews the clinical features of well differentiated thyroid cancer and examines various tools used in the evaluation of patients, in both the primary and the recurrent settings. Contemporary treatment strategies, with an emphasis placed on surgical treatment are revisited. Non-surgical modalities, including the use of radioactive iodine, external beam radiotherapy and chemotherapy are discussed.
