Abstract Objectives/Hypothesis: To describe the controversies in the management of thyroid
carcinoma invading the airway. Study Design: Contemporary review of literature; level of …

Background: Locally advanced thyroid cancer invading the tracheal cartilage represents a
difficult treatment dilemma during thyroidectomy. Methods: A retrospective chart review was …

Objective: To determine if complete resection (vs incomplete resection) improved survival of
patients with thyroid carcinoma invading the airway. Design: Retrospective, nonrandomized …

BACKGROUND: Laryngotracheal invasion worsens prognosis in patients with thyroid
carcinoma. The extent of resection is controversial. METHODS: We performed a …

Well‐differentiated thyroid cancer usually progresses slowly and rarely invades other
tissues. However, the rare cases with invasion of local structures, such as the larynx …

Background The aim of this study was to investigate the hypothesis that outcome following
concomitant airway resection is superior to that after shaving of the tumour in patients with …

Objective: Although aggressive approaches to locally invasive differentiated thyroid
carcinoma are reported to improve the prognosis, few investigations have provided an …

Invasion of the larynx and trachea by thyroid cancer is an uncommon but difficult problem.
There is no consensus on indication for or extent of surgery, particularly when there is a …

Well‐differentiated thyroid carcinoma infrequently invades the upper aerodigestive tract.
However, when invasion occurs it is the source of significant morbidity and excess mortality …

Objectives: To evaluate approaches to thyroid carcinoma invading the aerodigestive tract,
with particular attention to well‐differentiated carcinomas. Study Design: Retrospective …
