“General Rules for the Description of Thyroid Cancer” have been published eight times for more than 40 years. The General Rules provide the standardized terminologies and definitions, serving as a useful guide for the diagnosis and treatment of thyroid tumors. These Rules are principally edited along the lines of the “WHO Histological Classification of Thyroid Tumours” and “The Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology”. However, there are some differences between the Japanese General Rules and these internationally spread standards. We believe that the Japanese Rules describe the most useful procedures for diagnosis and treatment of thyroid tumor patients for daily medical practice in Japan.
