Abstract

Objective To describe the clinical and epidemiological profile of primary thyroid cancer hospital cases in Brazil. Methods This is a descriptive study of cases held on hospital cancer records who had their first consultation for treatment in the period 2000-2016 and who were monitored by the hospitals providing those records. Results Of the 52,912 cases, 83.4% were female and 96.9% were differentiated carcinoma cases. The median time to diagnosis was shorter for anaplastic cases (11 days) and for those living in Brazil's Southern region (5 days). Treatment was initiated within 60 days in 88.8% of cases that arrived at the hospitals without diagnosis and in 34.9% of those who arrived with diagnosis. Conclusion The findings are consistent with thyroid cancer epidemiology, with a predominance of female cases and differentiated carcinomas. Analysis of time-to-treatment suggests access difficulties for those who already had diagnosis when they arrived at the hospitals.

巴西甲状腺癌:2000-2016年基于医院的癌症登记处的病例描述性研究

目的了解巴西原发性甲状腺癌住院病例的临床和流行病学特征。方法对2000年至2016年期间首次就诊的医院癌症记录病例进行描述性研究，并由提供这些记录的医院监测。结果52912例患者中，女性占83.4%，分化癌占96.9%。间变性病例的中位诊断时间较短(11天)，生活在巴西南部地区的中位诊断时间为5天。88.8%未确诊抵达医院的病例在60天内开始治疗，34.9%确诊抵达医院的病例在60天内开始治疗。结论本研究结果与甲状腺癌流行病学一致，以女性病例为主，并伴有分化癌。对治疗时间的分析表明，那些在到达医院时已经得到诊断的人很难获得治疗。
