|January 1, 1997
Summary
This study identified common histological variants of differentiated thyroid carcinoma. The follicular variant is the most frequent papillary subtype, while the least invasive variant is most common in follicular carcinoma.
Area of Science:
- Endocrinology
- Oncology
- Pathology
Context:
- Differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) encompasses several histological subtypes.
- Accurate subtyping is crucial for prognosis and treatment strategies.
- Understanding variant prevalence aids in clinical management and research focus.
Purpose:
- To identify and report the prevalence of histological variants within differentiated thyroid carcinoma.
- To analyze the frequency of specific subtypes of papillary and follicular thyroid carcinoma.
Summary:
- A retrospective study analyzed 71 patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma.
- The follicular variant was the most common papillary carcinoma subtype (41.18%).
- The least invasive variant constituted 55% of follicular carcinoma cases.
Impact:
- Provides data on the distribution of DTC histological subtypes.
- Highlights the prevalence of specific variants, informing diagnostic criteria.
- Contributes to a better understanding of thyroid cancer pathology and classification.
