Abstract
Recommended treatment for thyroid cancers >10 mm is single stage total thyroidectomy (SST). Cancers diagnosed by diagnostic lobectomy may need completion surgery resulting in two stage thyroidectomies (TST). We noticed significant variation in numbers of SST and TST between hospitals within our cancer network and explored reasons for this using a prospective database containing all cases from 2004 to 2011 (n = 1030). We therefore conducted a survey of thyroid cytology provision across the network during 2010-2011.
