Abstract
Although thyroid cancer is the most frequently diagnosed endocrine malignant lesion, it is not a common disease. In the United States during 1986, an estimated 10,600 new cases will be diagnosed and 1,100 deaths from thyroid cancer will occur.1 x 1 Silverberg, E and Lubera, J. Cancer statistics, 1986. CA. 1986; 36: 9–25 Crossref | Google Scholar See all References In most patients with thyroid cancer described in the literature, the tumors have been well differentiated. In North American reports of malignant thyroid tumors, papillary carcinoma (including mixed papillary and follicular carcinoma) has accounted for 52 to 81% of all cases.2 x 2 Hirabayashi, RN and Lindsay, S.
