Review of 142 patients with thyroid cancer diagnosed and treated in a community hospital from 1958 through 1972 suggests that total thyroidectomy and radical neck dissection are unwarranted in the treatment of papillary carcinoma. Radioactive iodine scanning and needle biopsy are also shown to be unreliable indexes of malignancy. An operation approach to the management of specific thyroid cancers is presented.
对1958年至1972年在一家社区医院诊断和治疗的142例甲状腺癌患者的回顾表明，对于乳头状癌的治疗，全甲状腺切除术和根治性颈清扫术是不必要的。放射性碘扫描和针吸活检也被证明是不可靠的恶性指标。本文提出了一种针对特定甲状腺癌的手术治疗方法。
