[The clinico-morphological characteristics of thyroid cancer in a region of endemic goiter].

The study deals with the results of clinico-morphologic analysis of thyroid cancer in 351 patients who have been operated on in the Carpathian Mountain [correction of Prikarpatsky] region endemic for goiter over the period of 25 years. Certain peculiarities of thyroid cancer were established: relatively high occurrence of the disease, specific ratio of basic histologic subtypes, high frequency of early stage cases and regular concomitance of cancer with other thyroid pathologies. The importance of further studies into the epidemiology of thyroid cancer is emphasized.

[Malignization of goiter].

From analysis of literature data and the results of their personal studies embracing 3,139 operations for diseases of the thyroid gland the authors conclude that certain forms of goiter (nodular and recurrent in particular) play regularly the role of background processes in the development of cancer of the gland. This provides the ground for setting apart such patients into a risk group. Marked dysplasia is the main form of precancerous changes.
