[Differentiated thyroid cancers].

The Authors, after a review of the topic of thyroid cancer, focus on the epidemiology, aetiology and diagnosis of well-differentiated thyroid cancers. They then describe their own case series and their many years' experience in treating the patients affected by this pathology, which is generally regarded as having low malignancy. Nowadays the Authors consider the treatment of choice the total thyroidectomy with central compartment lymphectomy, eventually associated with metabolic radiotherapy.
