Abstract

What operation to perform in the case of a patient with thyroid cancer is a controversial issue, because there are few trials of treatments on which to base decisions. Small papillary tumours in young patients can be adequately treated by less than total thyroidectomy as can some variants of follicular carcinoma, but outwith these settings total thyroidectomy is recommended.
