The report analyses clinical manifestations, preoperative preparatory procedures, variants and results of urgent and emergency surgical procedures carried out in 47 cases of advanced thyroid cancer. Syndrome of grave lung-heart failure proved a major clinical sign of the disease. It could be compensated by intensive care (in a special ward included). Cervical and cervico-transsternal access was used, and surgery was performed to an extent determined by the pattern and extension of tumor.
