Summary

HLA typing was performed in 40 thyroid carcinoma patients. No association was found between antigens of the HLA system and papillary, follicular or medullary thyroid carcinomas. Literature reports on different HLA associations are probably due more to the small number of cases in the studies involved than to ethnic or geographic differences.

Key words

Differentiated thyroid cancer - HLA antigens - Medullary thyroid cancer
