Abstract
The authors conducted a retrospective analysis with 5- to 30-year follow-up on 109 patients in order to determine the optimum management of nonmedullary thyroid cancer. Results of total thyroidectomy were compared to partial thyroidectomy, among patients well matched for prognostic indicators. No differences in cancer mortality or recurrence rates were evident. However, there were significantly more complications when total thyroidectomy was employed. In view of these results, partial thyroidectomy is recommended as the treatment of choice for nonmedullary thyroid cancer.Entities:
