Thyroid cancer in West Java: It’s not all papillary and pretty
Background
Thyroid cancer is the most common endocrine malignancy in children and adults. The rising incidence of thyroid cancer, which remains poorly understood, raises the need to evaluate whether this increase will lead to higher mortality and more aggressive disease. This study aimed to describe the characteristics of thyroid cancer at the largest hospital in West Java and to examine the relationships between these characteristics.
Methods
This was an observational study. The subjects were patients with thyroid tumors in the oncology surgery division of a tertiary hospital in West Java, Indonesia, from January 2017 to December 2022. A total of 3414 subjects were included in the study. The characteristics of the thyroid tumors were extracted from medical records.
Results
The results showed that the mean age of the participants was 47 years, thyroid tumors were more common in women (82.9 %), and tumor location was frequently found on the right side (38.6 %) and over 90 % of cases showed no lymph node metastasis. Univariate analysis confirmed significant associations between histology and patient sex, tumor location, size, and nodal status (all p < 0.05), with very few subcentimeter tumors and higher metastatic rates in papillary (30.3 %) and medullary (37.5 %) carcinomas.
Conclusion
Thyroid cancer, particularly papillary thyroid carcinoma, was prevalent in the study population, with significant associations between histopathology, sex, tumor size, and lymph node metastasis. These findings highlight the important of using risk-based FNA and selective surgical referral to exclude low-risk microcarcinomas. Adherence to these strategies will mitigate overdiagnosis and unnecessary surgery.
期刊介绍:
Cancer Epidemiology is dedicated to increasing understanding about cancer causes, prevention and control. The scope of the journal embraces all aspects of cancer epidemiology including:
• Descriptive epidemiology
• Studies of risk factors for disease initiation, development and prognosis
• Screening and early detection
• Prevention and control
• Methodological issues
The journal publishes original research articles (full length and short reports), systematic reviews and meta-analyses, editorials, commentaries and letters to the editor commenting on previously published research.
