Abstract

Preoperative diagnosis of follicular carcinoma is difficult and most diagnoses are established on pathological examination. If it is possible to predict the prognosis by pathological classification, it would be beneficial in determining the treatment strategy after initial surgery. Even when the invasion can only be detected under the microscope, if the invasion covers a grossly large area, the tumor is classified as widely invasive.
