The authors review 140 cases and show the prime importance of the patient's age and the histological type in the prognosis of the operations of thyroid carcinoma (with the exception of solitary malignant cold nodule). The survival rate is higher with the papillary carcinoma of young patients, even though an extensive development of lymph nodes occurs, whereas metastases are encountered in the evolution of follicular carcinoma with increased risks. The anaplastic carcinoma which occurs mainly in aged people, is the worst of all. The medullary carcinoma is quite different from the others and is almost as malignant as the differentiated and anaplastic carcinomas. Surgery has to be adapted to anatomical lesions and requires the presence of an experienced histopathologist, the extension of the gland excision depending on the histological type and whether the isthmic area has been touched or not; in the same way a microscopic examination of lymph nodes, which are systematically excised, reveals whether a lymph nodes dissection has to be done at the same time. In this way extensive excisions together with their sequels can be avoided when the best prognosis can be forecasted with these lesions.
