PROGNOSTIC FACTORS OF THE RESULTS OF SURGICAL TREATMENT OF PATIENTS WITH DIFFERENTIATED CANCER OF THE THYROID GLAND
The article presents the analysis of prognostic values of some surgical treatment factors. It is established that statistically significant effect upon remote results of surgical treatment of differential cancer of thyroid gland is produced by age, initial tumor volume, character of tumour growth. The risk of recurrence grows at patients of 45 and older than 55 years of age; at tumours more than 4 cm in diameter with invasive and expansive character of grow. The index of lethality is higher at patients in the age group older than 55 years old at the volume of initial tumour more than 4 cm in diameter at expansive character of tumour growth
