Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Epidemiology
  • Endocrinology

Background:

  • Thyroid malignancies show increasing incidence globally.
  • Regional variations in histological types suggest links to socioeconomic and environmental factors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the trends and histological types of thyroid cancer over two decades.
  • To investigate potential correlations between thyroid cancer incidence and regional factors.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective study of 137 thyroid cancer cases.
  • Data collected over a 20-year period (1965-1984) at University College Hospital, Ibadan.
  • Analysis of patient demographics, histological types, and incidence trends.

Main Results:

  • Papillary carcinoma (45.3%) and follicular carcinoma (44.5%) were the predominant types.
  • A slight male predominance was observed in medullary carcinoma (5%), with an average age of 34.
  • An increasing trend in papillary carcinoma incidence was noted, contrasting with previous studies.

Conclusions:

  • The study highlights a potential increase in papillary thyroid carcinoma incidence.
  • Socioeconomic and environmental factors may play a significant role in the observed trends of thyroid malignancies.
  • Further research is warranted to elucidate the impact of these factors on thyroid cancer epidemiology.
