All cases of carcinoma of the thyroid gland diagnosed at two large hospitals in Sacramento during the 15 year period 1951-1965 were studied. Of the 232 cases diagnosed, 179 or 77.2 percent were papillary carcinoma. It was possible to trace 94 percent of all the patients, with a median follow-up of 6.5 years, and no deaths due to papillary carcinoma of the thyroid were found. The extent of operation did not appear to influence the course of papillary carcinoma of the thyroid.
对1951年至1965年这15年间在萨克拉门托市两家大型医院诊断出的所有甲状腺癌病例进行了研究。在诊断出的232例病例中，179例（占77.2%）为乳头状癌。对所有患者中的94%进行了追踪，中位随访时间为6.5年，未发现因甲状腺乳头状癌死亡的病例。手术范围似乎不影响甲状腺乳头状癌的病程。
