Abstract
Thyroid carcinoma is rare and constitutes about 1% of all malignant tumours. For some time it has been known that age, sex, histology, and tumour grade are factors of importance for prognosis. In Stockholm we have analyzed the amount of nuclear DNA in thyroid tumours for the last 10 years. In our studies and those of other nuclear DNA-analysis has given important prognostic information for differentiated thyroid tumours in addition to that provided by histopathology, and may be of value preoperatively for treatment planning. DNA-analysis is well established in our clinical work and is one of the factors considered in a prospective randomized study concerning patients with papillary carcinoma in the Stockholm-Uppsala area. Tumours with diploid nuclear DNA pattern are randomized between lobectomy and total thyroidectomy in this study.
