Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Pathology

Context:

  • Thyroid carcinoma presents a significant clinical challenge.
  • Surgical intervention is a primary treatment modality.
  • Understanding treatment outcomes is crucial for patient management.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the outcomes of surgical treatment in patients with thyroid carcinoma.
  • To analyze clinical presentation, diagnostic methods, surgical procedures, and follow-up data.
  • To identify factors influencing survival in thyroid cancer patients.

Summary:

  • A study of 85 thyroid cancer patients (1970-2004) found differentiated carcinoma most frequent (84.5% usual variant).
  • Papillary carcinoma occurred in younger patients (p=0.03) and predominated in women under 49.

  • Total thyroidectomy was performed in 82% of cases, with a 6% recurrence rate.

    • Impact:

    • Surgical outcomes for thyroid carcinoma are influenced by histological type, age, sex, tumor size, and regional metastases.
    • Early diagnosis and appropriate surgical intervention are key to improving patient survival.
    • This study provides valuable data for optimizing thyroid cancer treatment strategies.
