1.	Thyroid Neoplasms (Thyroid Cancer) 01/01/2005 - "No major breakthrough is noted in the management of anaplastic thyroid cancer, however, identification of RET mutation has been extremely helpful in evaluating the family members of the patient with medullary thyroid cancer with strong consideration given to total thyroidectomy." 05/01/1999 - "We believe that the best treatment for most patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma is near-total thyroidectomy followed by 131I ablation of the thyroid remnant, which in our experience reduces the recurrence rate, improves survival and facilitates follow-up. " 01/01/1995 - "Assessment of the morphological patterns of differentiated thyroid carcinoma reveals a marked predomination of noncomplicated histologic variants, enabling the wide use of minor conservative operative procedures, compared to thyroidectomy, with a positive outcome. " 10/01/1984 - "The efficacy of high doses of radioiodine for total ablation of functional remnants left behind after total surgical thyroidectomy for thyroid cancer decreases with the number of treatments as well with the course of therapy. " 01/01/2000 - "Careful assessment of prognostic factors is no longer helpful in choice of selective surgical procedure in thyroid cancer as elective total thyroidectomy is widely recommended.

2.	Neoplasms (Cancer) 11/01/2006 - "The most central clinical difference with MEN-1 is that the associated cancer can be prevented or cured by early thyroidectomy in mutation carriers. " 03/01/2005 - "Therefore total thyroidectomy can be considered best treatment and also be surgical treatment oncologically correct for this tumor." 01/01/2006 - "We conclude that:--good long-term results are more likely to be obtained when total thyroidectomy and radioiodine are combined with an early detection of recurrences (before they are visible by traditional imaging methods);--patients must be strictly staged in order to guide the modalities and duration of follow-up, and the Ext-TG classification seems more appropriate than all those which do not consider the Tg level at the end of initial treatment;--in experienced hands the benefits of total surgical ablation of the tumor greatly outweigh the potential risks;--radioiodine is effective and safe when appropriate measures are taken to prevent complications, and the long-term eficacy of surveillance without total body scanning should be verified before being universally adopted;--cost-reduction should focus on diagnosis, screening, and the selection of nodules eligible for surgery, rather than on monitoring of patients with DTC. " 09/01/1999 - "There was a trend for better outcome in patients younger than 55 years of age, in patients with tumors under 4 cm in size, and in patients treated by total thyroidectomy. " 12/01/1985 - "Coarse-needle biopsy definitely improved the incidence of cancer in patients undergoing thyroidectomy and was superior to FNB and clinical selection alone.

3.	Graves Disease (Basedow Disease) 08/01/1997 - "To clarify whether bone recovery is complete, we examined lumbar and femoral bone mineral density (BMD) by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) in 14 thyrotoxic premenopausal women with Graves' disease and 31 premenopausal women treated for Graves' disease by subtotal thyroidectomy who had been in remission for at least 3 years. " 09/01/2008 - "CONCLUSION: The use of the HS was associated with a significant reduction in operating time compared to the use of the conventional haemostatic techniques in patients with Graves' disease undergoing total thyroidectomy." 02/01/1979 - "Subtotal thyroidectomy, while not totally without complications, remains a rapid, safe, and effective treatment for Graves' disease. " 12/01/1989 - "In achieving euthyroidism, partial thyroidectomy was more effective in patients with Graves' disease (P less than 0.02). " 12/01/2006 - "CONCLUSIONS: Near-total thyroidectomy for Graves disease in children is safe and effective when performed by experienced thyroid surgeons. " Order ALL the reference details at left...
4.	Hyperthyroidism 06/01/2002 - "In these patients, prompt treatment of their hyperthyroidism by total thyroidectomy may be the best option. " 07/01/1999 - "In most of the patients, immunologic remission was obtained by subtotal thyroidectomy except for their having recurrent hyperthyroidism. " 01/01/2009 - "Surgical thyroidectomy of patients with Graves' hyperthyroidism does not lead to immediate remission of the autoimmune abnormality, and the combination thyroidectomy+withdrawal of antithyroid medication+L-T(4) replacement of the mother involves a high risk of foetal hyperthyroidism. " 12/01/2006 - "Three (4%) patients who underwent subtotal thyroidectomy developed recurrent hyperthyroidism; all were treated successfully with radioiodine ablation. " 01/01/1998 - "In patients with hereditary nonautoimmune hyperthyroidism a near total thyroidectomy is recommended as the first line treatment to avoid relapses from residual thyroid tissue with the activating TSHR mutation. " Order ALL the reference details at left...
5.	Thyrotoxicosis 08/01/2003 - "She was treated successfully with propylthiouracile until 1991, when a new episode of thyrotoxicosis led to a subtotal thyroidectomy. " 06/01/1978 - "Subtotal thyroidectomy has a low morbidity and is effective treatment for thyrotoxicosis in adolescence and childhood." 03/01/2008 - "Second trimester subtotal thyroidectomy was safe and effective in treating this pregnant patient's thyrotoxicosis." 04/01/2006 - "* Total thyroidectomy should be offered equally, with radioiodine and thionamide treatment, as a first line treatment modality in the management of thyrotoxicosis." 01/01/1997 - "METHODS: The study included 63 patients who had subtotal thyroidectomy, 51 for thyrotoxicosis and 12 for non-toxic goitre.
