- Abstract
The article examines the hypothesis that outcome following concomitant airway resection is superior to that after shaving of the tumor in patients with airway invasion of thyroid carcinoma. 131I was used as postoperative adjuvant therapy in all patients. Metastasis and recurrence of the primary lesion were determined by 131I whole-body scans, serum thyroglobulin levels and computed tomography or ultrasonography of the neck. The findings of the study are discussed.
