The survival has been analyzed of 344 unselected new patients with thyroid cancer seen at the Christie Hospital, Manchester, between 1945 and 1955. All have been followed for 10 years. The age incidence is similar in males and females. There is a consistent inverse correlation between age at diagnosis and survival, both within the group as a whole and within the 2 main subgroups—patients having differentiated tumor and those having poorly differentiated tumor; this correlation is based only on those cases in which the patient died of tumor.
