Abstract
The primary treatment of thyroid carcinoma is surgery and the outcome depends on its extent. The post-operative management alternatives in thyroid carcinoma include thyroid hormone, radio-iodine ablation (I-131 Na), external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) and occasionally adjuvant chemotherapy. This retrospective study analyzes the managements of 153 patients (102, 51), age range 10-96 years, mean age 50.2 years treated for thyroid carcinoma. The range of follow-up was 1.0-294 months with median follow-up for 60.4 months. Twenty patients without therapy were excluded. Group A included 87 patients treated with I-131. Group B consisted of 13 patients received EBRT. Group C included both therapies in 33 patients. The therapies in all different stages of thyroid carcinoma and with various histopathologies were reviewed.
