One hundred and sixty-three cases of thyroid carcinoma were treated between 1979 and 1983. The cancers were classified as solitary nodules or carcinomas in multinodular goitres according to their clinical presentation. Analysis revealed a significantly higher incidence of T0/T1 in the solitary nodular carcinoma group (P less than 0.001) and a lower incidence of metastatic disease (P less than 0.05) compared with multinodular carcinoma. Survival for the T0/T1 subgroup of solitary nodular carcinoma was significantly better compared with the same subgroup of multinodular carcinoma (P less than 0.05).
1979年至1983年间共治疗了163例甲状腺癌患者。根据临床表现，这些癌症被分类为单发结节性癌或多结节性甲状腺肿中的癌。分析显示，与多结节性癌相比，单发结节性癌组中T0/T1的发生率显著更高（P<0.001），而转移疾病的发生率更低（P<0.05）。单发结节性癌的T0/T1亚组的生存率与多结节性癌的相同亚组相比显著更好（P<0.05）。
