Because of its relative rarity and favorable outcome, it has not
been feasible to assess medical interventions for thyroid cancer
using randomized prospective trials. The approach to diagnosis and
treatment relies to a great extent on information derived from
retrospective studies. Overall prognosis and survival rates have
been edging upward over the past two decades. This is attributed to
a wider acceptance of total thyroidectomy as the primary surgical
strategy. The appropriate indication of radioiodine therapy remains
controversial, and physicians must be familiar with staging
criteria to make educated decisions. We are now beginning to
understand the genetic mechanisms of thyroid tumor initiation and
progression. There are still major challenges ahead. Thyroid Cancer
provides comprehensive updates on the epidemiology, pathogenesis,
diagnosis and treatment of thyroid neoplasms. Although the material
should be of particular interest to scholars in the field, the
contributors have striven to make it of practical use to physicians
who treat patients with thyroid disease.
