Abstract
Differentiated thyroid cancer is regarded to be of low grade malignancy with a good prognosis. We made statistical analyses of 138 cases of differentiated thyroid cancer treated in Kyoto University during the past ten years.
Our study proved the propriety of the standard surgical procedures for thyroid cancer. These established indications of surgical procedure for various stages of the cancer were found to have been properly followed in our series. This could conceivably be related to a lower recurrence rate in our series.
