Dear Bob:
On further study of the slides from
_ I have come to the
conclusion that this is indeed a carcinoma.
This provides a& startlingly high
incidence of carcinoma in this group of cases recently operated upon.
In view of the relatively high incidence of thyroid cancer known to exist
in Jepan and the recently reported high incidence in Hawaii, additional studies
of controls are essential.
Dr. Meissner and Dr. Gates have looked at these cases individually and
agree as to final diagnoses.
- Sincerely yours,
