Surgery MCQ 127

The treatment of choice in a patient with well Differentiated thyroid cancer is:

A. Total thyroidectomy

B. Subtotal thyroidectomy

C. Total thyroidectomy and modified neck Dissection

D. Hemi-thyroidectomy and berry priking of Lymph nodes

Answer: A

The treatment of choice for well-differentiated thyroid cancer typically involves surgical removal of the thyroid gland. The appropriate surgical procedure may vary depending on the specific characteristics of the cancer and the patient's individual circumstances. However, the most commonly recommended option is: A. Total thyroidectomy Total thyroidectomy involves the complete removal of the thyroid gland. In some cases, additional procedures like modified neck dissection may be performed if there is evidence of lymph node involvement. The choice between total thyroidectomy and other surgical options will depend on factors such as the extent of the cancer and whether there is evidence of lymph node metastasis. Option B (Subtotal thyroidectomy) is less commonly used in the treatment of well-differentiated thyroid cancer because it leaves behind a portion of the thyroid tissue, which may not adequately address the risk of recurrence. Option D (Hemi-thyroidectomy and berry picking of lymph nodes) is not a standard treatment approach for well-differentiated thyroid cancer. Hemi-thyroidectomy is typically used for benign thyroid conditions, and "berry picking" of lymph nodes is not a recognized surgical procedure for thyroid cancer treatment
