Yadav Dinesh, Goyal Sumit, Yadav Ajay

Abstract


BACKGROUND: The incidence of thyroid cancer has increased in recent years,facilitated by technological
development. Management of thyroid carcinoma needs standardisation and regular institutional evaluation.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: It is a prospective study of 25 consecutive cases of thyroid cancer, managed in surgical oncology department
from August 2017 to March 2019.
RESULTS: Majority of patient were having normal parathyroid function and minimal uptake on radioactive iodine study. Conclusion: Well
Differentiated Thyroid cancers when managed by total thyroidectomy and Radio Active Iodine ablation rarely leads to clinically significant loco
regional recurrence. Bilateral RLN damage or permanent hypoparathyroidism are uncommon complications when surgery is done by an expert
(or under his guidance).
