Well-differentiated thyroid carcinoma invading the larynx and trachea
نویسندگان
چکیده
Larynx and trachea invasion by thyroid cancer is an uncommon but difficult problem. There is no consensus on indication for the extent of surgery, particularly when there is a requirement for airway reconstruction. In general, the surgeon must decide between a complete ablation of the tumor at the cost of large-mutilation and a less radical dissection that leaves residual tumor to be treated with radiation therapy and additional radio-iodine.
