Abstract
106 patients with a primary thyroid cancer treated in the years 1971--1977 have been studied with respect to preoperative diagnosis and to treatment. We can demonstrate an improved diagnostic accuracy during the 7-year period. Aspiration fine needle biopsy with cytological examination was the preoperative diagnostic method which gave the highest yield. Total thyroidectomy, preferably as a one-stage procedure has been performed in 77 patients.
