伦敦皇家马尔斯登医院于1931～1963年三十年期间共治疗293例甲状腺癌病人。其中乳头状癌36%,滤泡状癌21%,髓样癌1%,间变性癌42%。手术加放疗是最常用的治疗方案。36%乳头状癌病人存活20年、20%滤泡状癌和4%间变性癌存活20年。本组观察表明治疗对存活时间有影响;证实组织学和年龄对预后有意义;而且说明乳头状结节的转移对存活并无影响。 Royal Marsden Hospital in London treated 293 patients with thyroid cancer during the 30 years from 1931 to 1963. Among them, papillary carcinoma is 36%, follicular carcinoma is 21%, medullary carcinoma is 1%, and metastatic carcinoma is 42%. Surgery and radiotherapy are the most commonly used treatment options. Twenty-six percent of patients with papillary carcinoma survived for 20 years, 20% with follicular carcinoma, and 4% with metastatic carcinoma survived for 20 years. The observations in this group showed that the treatment had an effect on the survival time; it was confirmed that histology and age were significant for the prognosis; and that the transfer of papillary nodules had no effect on survival.
