A summary statement for the Workshop on Late Effects of Irradiation to the Head and Neck in Infancy and Childhood is presented. The Workshop, conducted by the National Cancer Institute with the cooperation of several other organizations, was convened to determine the present status of knowledge about thyroid disease related to irradiation of the head and neck and to develop guidelines with respect to detection, diagnosis, treatment, and followup. It was decided that surgical exploration should be considered for all palpable thyroid nodules, particularly those that are firm and clearly demarcated and appear as a "cold" area on the scan. Persons at risk because of prior irradiation to the head or neck should have regular reexaminations every one to two years.
本文呈现了关于婴幼儿及儿童头颈部辐射远期效应研讨会的总结声明。该研讨会由美国国立癌症研究所联合其他几个组织共同举办，旨在确定与头颈部辐射相关的甲状腺疾病的现有知识状况，并制定关于检测、诊断、治疗及随访的指导方针。会议决定，对于所有可触及的甲状腺结节，尤其是质地坚硬、边界清晰且在扫描中表现为“冷”区的结节，均应考虑进行手术探查。因既往头颈部接受过辐射而处于风险中的人群，应每1至2年定期复查。
