[Current diagnostic and treatment options in thyroid carcinoma].
Authors evaluated a set of 1182 patients who underwent a surgery for thyroid disease at two workplaces--1st Surgery Clinic of L. Pasteur Teaching Hospital of Kosice and ENT Department of East-Slovak Oncology Institute, a. s. of Kosice during 5 year period from the point of view of Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma. Of the given number, 9 suffered a confirmed diagnosis of Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma. Incidence and treatment results conform to available publications. The most important elements for successful treatment are considered the early diagnosis and sufficient surgical treatment. The early diagnosis is in hands of GPs and endocrinologists and is the most important regarding the success of treatment. It is useful to direct the surgical treatment into Centres where--regarding rare occurrence, seriousness of disease and specific treatment--the optimum result may be achieved.
