We treated 227 patients, 45 men and 182 women, with thyroid carcinoma at our hospital from 1984 to 1998. Of these, 177 had papillary carcinoma and 50 follicular carcinoma. The extent of resection was based on tumor size in papillary carcinoma but not follicular carcinoma, and 70% of carcinoma patients underwent hemithyroidectomy. Neck lymph nodes were resected in 93.2% of papillary carcinoma patients, with D1 neck dissection in 45.7% and D2 or D3 neck dissection in 47.5%. In contrast, 70% of follicular carcinoma patients with lymph node resection had D1 dissection. Locoregional recurrence was noted in 22 patients and distant metastasis in 6 cases. Nonsurvivors numbered 17, 12 papillary and 5 follicular carcinoma patients, died of their primary disease. Almost all deaths were in patients with advanced disease, pT3 in 3, pT4 in 10, N1a in 3 and N1b in 8. The prognostic factors for papillary carcinoma were extracapsular spread, age, and distant metastasis, while the only factor for follicular carcinoma was distant metastasis. The 5-year survival for patients with papillary carcinoma was 93.0% and 10-year survival 88.8%, compared to 5-year survival for 93.5% of follicular carcinoma patients and 10-year survival for 93.5%.
