Prognostic Indicators in Differentiated Thyroid Carcinoma

Prognostic indicators in differentiated thyroid carcinoma.

BACKGROUND Thyroid cancer ranges from well-differentiated lesions with an excellent prognosis to anaplastic carcinoma, which is almost uniformly fatal. Thus, methods to assess the behavior of thyroid malignancies are necessary to arrive at appropriate treatment decisions. METHODS We discuss the factors that affect the prognosis of patients with well-differentiated thyroid malignancies, includ...

[Differentiated thyroid carcinoma: survival and prognostic factors].

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) is the most common endocrine tumor. DTC has a good prognosis and survival rates higher than 85%. The aim of our study was to assess our current survival rate and to analyze prognostic factors. PATIENTS AND METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted of 308 patients with DTC (93.5% with papillary tumors, 78.8% women). Mean age at di...

Prognostic indicators in well-differentiated thyroid carcinoma when controlling for stage and treatment.

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS The incidence of thyroid carcinoma is rising. Few studies have examined patient characteristics that influence survival when adjusting for treatment and tumor stage/extent. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective analysis was performed using the Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results registry data among patients diagnosed with well-differentiated thyroid (WDT) carcinoma during 198...
