[Operation for well-differentiated invading thyroid carcinoma].

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the surgical data of well-differentiated invading thyroid carcinoma (WITC) , for acquiring the clinical experience. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was made in 201 cases with well-differentiated invading thyroid carcinoma in Liaoning Tumour Hospital from 1984 to 2000. The data were statistically treated for survival curves according to the Kaplan-Meier method. The Log-Rank tests were employed to assess the statistical significance of various groups. RESULTS: There were 3 cases with total laryngectomy and partial cervical trachea resection, 6 cases with partial cervical trachea resection, 67 cases with shaving off tumor from its surface, 9 cases with recurrent laryngeal nerve resection, 26 cases with shaving off tumor from the surface of recurrent laryngeal nerve. Other local structures invaded in 90 cases was resected with the thyroid tumour en bloc. One hundred and eighty nine cases with one thyroid lobe and isthmus ectomy, 5 cases one lobe and opsite subtotal ectomy. One hundred and twenty nine cases simultaneous neck dissection (5 cases bilateral neck dissection), in them, 75 neck radical neck dissection, 59 neck modified dissection. The 5-, 10- and 15-year living rates of well-differentiated thyroid carcinoma patients were 85.6% , 77.3% and 69.4% respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that patients' age, tumour invading structure were independent prognostic factors. CONCLUSIONS: With proper operation, a better cure will be made in WITC.

[Histopathological study on the regularity of pyriform sinus carcinoma invading adjacent tissue and structure].

OBJECTIVE: To explore the regularity invading adjacent tissue of pyriform sinus carcinoma. METHODS: The whole organ serial section of 68 total or partial laryngectomy and hypopharyngectomy specimen of pyriform sinus carcinoma were histopathologically studied. RESULTS: In 68 pyriform sinus carcinoma, invaded ventricular and paraglottic spaces was 63 and 38 cases respectively, the difference of invasive frequency of both spaces was significantly marked (chi2 = 21.37, P < 0.01). Thyroid cartilage had the most invaded frequency of 92.6% (63/68). The all touching and pressing invasion of laryngeal cartilage was 89 times, and infiltrating invasion was 51 times. The invasive frequency of lateral cricoarytenoid muscle, posterior cricoarytenoid one, thyroarytenoid and interarytenoid ones were 63.2% (43/68), 57.4% (39/68), 55.9% (38/68), 51.5% (35/68) respectively. The invasive frequency of cricoarytenoid and cricothyroid joints were 30.9% (21/68), 17.6% (12/68) respectively. The invasive frequency of superior laryngeal nerve was 67.7% (44/65) , and more than that of recurrent laryngeal nerve (18/65, 27.7%). The pyriform sinus medial wall carcinoma was 14 cases, lateral wall carcinoma 18 cases, medial and lateral wall carcinoma 36 cases. The invaded pyriform sinus apex was 34 cases, normal its apex was 26 ones, submucous invasion of its apex was 8 ones. Light lymphocytic invasion was 66.2% (45/68) and seen most in pyriform sinus carcinoma. Submucous and leaping invasion of pyriform sinus carcinoma were 24 and 8 cases. CONCLUSIONS: Intralaryngeal invasion of pyriform sinus carcinoma arose through paraglottic space first. Laryngeal cartilage membrane and their cartilage were anatomical obstacle against cancerous invasion. Lateral cricoarytenoid muscle, posterior cricoarytenoid one, thyroarytenoid and interarytenoid ones were often invaded. Pyriform sinus medial wall carcinoma invaded intralaryngeal structure easily, its lateral wall carcinoma may invade upward, downward and outward along thyroid cartilage interior wall, medial and lateral wall carcinoma may invade intralaryngeal and extralaryngeal structure, and was the most serious lesion. The invasion of pyriform sinus apex is an important sign of pyriform sinus carcinoma spreading downward to inferior and peripheral tissues of hypopharynx.

[Re-operation for thyroid carcinoma].

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the results of re-operation of thyroidectomy for patients of thyroid carcinoma. METHODS: 268 patients of thyroid carcinoma received completion thyroidectomy were retrospectively reviewed from 1984 to 2000. There were 59 males and 209 female cases. 256 cases had received nodule enucleating or partial thyroidectomy in other hospitals and 12 cases had unilateral subtotal thyroidectomy in this hospital. The types of reoperation were: Total thyroidectomy for bilateral thyroid carcinoma (6 cases); expand isthmectomy for isthmus carcinoma (1 case). Lobectomy plus isthmectomy for unilateral disease (261) Simultaneous neck dissections were performed in 196 cases. Among them, 94 cases had classical neck dissection, 102 cases had modified neck dissection. RESULTS: Pathological results confirmed that there were 78 cases with residual thyroid carcinoma. The rate of residual carcinoma was 29. 1% (78/268). There were 95 cases with lymphnode metastasis. The rate of lymphnode metastasis was 48.5% (95/196). The rate of recurrent laryngeal nerve injury was 1.1% (3/268). The 5-year and 10-year survival rates of patients were 94. 0% (251/267) and 85. 2% (127/149) respectively. CONCLUSIONS: The residual carcinoma of completing thyroidectomy was high. Therefore re-operations of thyroid in selected cases were necessary.
