Abstract

Twenty years' experience of thyroid cancer in a district general hospital has been reviewed. Its incidence, prognosis and natural history have been studied.

Clinical evidence is presented supporting the hypothesis that differentiated thyroid carcinoma evolves from a solitary focus through a multinodular form before presenting the picture of a frankly malignant locally invasive cancer.

An increase in the incidence of papillary carcinoma is confirmed.
