What are the principles of treatment of Papillary Cancer of the Thyroid?

The excellent prognosis in papillary cancer is in part a reflection of the indolent and relatively benign nature of the tumour. The management consists of a three-pronged attack:

  1. Thyroid Surgery
  2. Radioactive iodine therapy and external beam radiotherapy
  3. Drug Treatment - Thyroxine therapy and extremely limited use of chemotherapy
