Widely invasive oncocytic carcinoma is a type of thyroid cancer. It is called “widely invasive” because groups of cancer cells are found throughout the normal thyroid gland. This type of cancer is made up of large oncocytic cells, also known as Hurthle cells. How is this diagnosis made? The diagnosis of widely invasive oncocytic carcinoma …

What is minimally invasive oncocytic carcinoma? Minimally invasive oncocytic cell carcinoma is a type of thyroid cancer. The tumour is separated from the normal thyroid gland by a thin band of tissue called a tumour capsule. In a “minimally invasive” tumour, groups of cancer cells have broken through the tumour capsule and spread into the …
