Management of thyroid carcinoma needs standardisation and regular institutional evaluation. Material and methods: It is a prospective study of 25 consecutive cases of thyroid cancer, managed in surgical oncology department from August 2017 to March 2019. Results: Majority of patient were having normal parathyroid function and minimal uptake on radioactive iodine study. Conclusion: Well Differentiated Thyroid cancers when managed by total thyroidectomy and Radio Active Iodine ablation rarely leads to clinically significant loco regional recurrence.
