Among patients with the nodular forms of goitre thyroid cancer was found in 7.7 per cent of cases. Physical examinations, puncture biopsy and, in suspected cancer, urgent hystological test during the operation should be carried out in order to make the diagnosis. Oncological considerations require that all the nodular forms of goitre be subject to operative treatment, the minimal volume of intervention being resection of the lobe with a node.
