Popis: A retrospective analysis of the thyroid gland carcinoma in children, cured at the Institute of Oncology, was more frequent in girls (76%) than in boys. The changes were analysed according to TNM classification using the protocol for diagnostic and treatment procedures. The approach of the protocol was the same for children and adult population. In children the primary process ecpanded very fast in regional lymph nodes. Surgery of different size with or without the functionally neck dissection, proved the pathohistological verification. After the surgery, in 10 of 29 children, 131-I was applied. Spreading of the disease in lungs was observed in four of 29 children. The parameters of the successful therapy of the thyroid gland carcinoma in childhood were the general status, local status, the concentration of thyroglobulin value (Tg), and the serum titres of antithyroglobulin antibodies.
