This advanced thyroid carcinoma invading the larynx, trachea and esophagus in surgical treatment research are reviewed. Keywords: thyroid neoplasms of larynx and trachea esophageal surgery Thyroid gland is located below the thyroid cartilage and trachea from either side of the central isthmus and the left and right lateral lobe the composition of the isthmus usually located in front of 24 tracheal cartilage, on both sides of the leaves are usually flat upper pole thyroid cartilage, the majority of the lower pole section 56 is located in the trachea Ring [1]. Thyroid cancer is one of the neck of the common tumors, accounting for all human malignancies 1% of the newborn. According to pathological diagnosis and the combination of biological characteristics, is divided into four kinds of thyroid cancer: papillary carcinoma, follicular carcinoma, medullary carcinoma and undifferentiated carcinoma. In addition to medullary carcinoma, the vast majority of thyroid cancer of follicular cell origin. Papillary carcinoma of thyroid cancer in adults, accounting for 75% and 60% of all thyroid cancer in children, about 80% of the tumor as the multi-center, 1 / 3 involving the bilateral thyroid; follicular carcinoma 12% 25%, often as a single lesion sex; normal circumstances, the combination of the two types of the more common, account for about 94%; medullary carcinoma accounts for about 5%, from parafollicular calcitonin-secreting C cells; undifferentiated carcinoma 1%, from the pathological types of undifferentiated state of cells [1,2]. Papillary carcinoma and follicular thyroid cancer, the proportion of signific
