甲状腺癌由于本身的某些特性决定,在一些问题上无法与其他肿瘤相提并论,但是随着多方面研究的进展和认识的不断深入,正为人们所日趋重视。甲状腺位于颈部这一狭窄的区域内,相邻有甲状旁腺、喉返神经、颈总动脉、颈内静脉、迷走神经等重要脏器,而且颈部又是一易外露的部位;加上甲状腺又是一重要的内分泌器官,所以,治疗时不但要清楚地了解其解剖关系,而且还要从美容及保护其内分泌功能的角度来考虑。同时,还应注意到有无其他内分泌器官的多发肿瘤的可能。由于其组织学上的腺癌与未分化癌的预后差异很大,在治疗上也应分别 Because of its own characteristics, thyroid cancer cannot be compared with other tumors on some issues. However, with the progress of various researches and the deepening of understanding, thyroid cancer is becoming more and more important for people. The thyroid gland is located in this narrow region of the neck and adjacent to important organs such as the parathyroid gland, recurrent laryngeal nerve, common carotid artery, internal jugular vein, and vagus nerve, and the neck is an easily exposed part; plus the thyroid gland. It is also an important endocrine organ. Therefore, it is necessary not only to clearly understand its anatomical relationship but also to consider it from the perspective of beauty and protection of its endocrine function. At the same time, it should also be noted whether there are multiple tumors of other endocrine organs. Since the prognosis of histologically adenocarcinoma and undifferentiated carcinoma is very different, they should also be treated differently.
