Thyroid gland metastasis from small cell lung cancer: an unusual site of metastatic spread.

abstract：Background:Thoracoscopic surgery (TS) has been used more commonly as a less invasive procedure for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) than conventional thoracotomy (TH) in Japan. However, limited evidential data are available to compare the treatment efficacy of TS and TH. The purpose of this study was to r...
