A Nationwide Study of Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 2A in Norway: Predictive and Prognostic Factors for the Clinical Course of Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma

“…Already in 1844, Hawkins (46) described cases of carcinoma of the thyroid gland. In a review from 1940, Lahey et al (47) described a patient diagnosed with papillary carcinoma in the thyroid in 1935. Meissner and McManus (48) studied the histological growth patterns of benign and malignant thyroid tumors, and classified the tumors as either papillary or follicular tumors.…”

Carcinoma of the Thyroid Gland*

“…In our series of 401 patients with toxic nodular goiter operated on at Illinois Research Hospital between 1936 and 1952 inclusive, we encountered only 4 cases of carcinoma-an incidence of 1.0 per cent (Table 1). Lahey and associates (8) found a still lower incidence of carcinoma in toxic nodular goiter, reporting 0.68 per cent in toxic nodules (3 carcinomas in 440 cases) and 0.54 per cent in multiple toxic nodules (4 carcinomas in 735 cases). Many other authors reporting on this subject have encountered a much higher incidence of carcinoma in toxic nodular goiter.…”
