The value of post-operative percutaneous radiotherapy is examined by evaluating the case records of 27 patients with papillary carcinomas of the thyroid gland of stage pT4 NO MO and pT1-4 pN1-3 MO. A loco-regional disappearance was observed in 95% (20/21) of the post-irradiated patients. In half of all patients not post-irradiated, no loco-regional disappearance of the tumor was achieved; a formation of metastases was found later on in these patients. The percutaneous irradiation has been recommended for years by radiologists, but it is not accepted everywhere. The results suggest the necessity of radiotherapy in case of the above mentioned tumor stages.
通过评估27例pT4 NO MO期和pT1 - 4 pN1 - 3 MO期甲状腺乳头状癌患者的病例记录，对术后经皮放疗的价值进行了研究。在接受放疗的患者中，95%（20/21）出现了局部区域肿瘤消失。在所有未接受放疗的患者中，有一半没有实现肿瘤的局部区域消失；这些患者后来发现有转移灶形成。放射科医生多年来一直推荐经皮照射，但并非在所有地方都被接受。结果表明，对于上述肿瘤分期，放疗是必要的。
