What is A nodule of 2 cm in left thyroid diagnosed as papillary Ca. Treatment of choice is: and explain in detail?
Papillary adenocarcinoma accounts for 85% of cancers of the thyroid gland. The tumor usually appears in early adult life and presents as a solitary nodule. For papillary carcinoma over 1 cm, acceptable operations are near-total or total thyroidectomy. For solitary papillary carcinomas less than 1 cm, thyroid lobectomy is adequate treatment. Subtotal or paial lobectomy is contraindicated because the incidence of tumor recurrence is greater and survival is shoer. Ref: Clark O.H. (2010). Chapter 16. Thyroid & Parathyroid. In G.M.
