Abstract

The present study subjects comprised 88 thyroid cancer patients treated in our hospital from July 2001 to November 2011. We investigated clinical considerations in these subjects, such as age, sex, tumor stage, pathological examination results, and the treatment regimen. The average age was 61 years old, and the sex ratio was 1:2 (M:F). Patients aged 45 and below accounted for 19.3% of the total population. The sensitivity of thyroid fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) was 72.7%. The overall survival was examined by the Kaplan-Meier survival curve and the overall 5 year survival rate of all cases (88 cases) was 85.2%. The 5 year survival rate of papillary carcinoma (77 cases) was 88.3%. Recurrence and metastases were seen in T3N1, T4 band N1b cases. The 5 year survival rate was especially bad for undifferentiated cancer and squamous cell carcinoma.
