Objective:To investigate the pathological features and the prognostic factors of female patients with thyroid
carcinoma.Methods:148 cases of female patients with thyroid carcinoma in our hospital between January 2008 and August 2009 were
collected, and the clinicopathological characteristics and prognostic factors were retrospectively analyzed.Results:Pathological
examination showed that 131 cases (88.5%) were papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), 6 patients (4.1%) were follicular carcinoma (FTC),
3 cases (2.0%) were medullary carcinoma (MTC), 6 patients (4.1%) were undifferentiated carcinoma (ATC); pathological stage Ⅰ -Ⅱ
period accounted for 45.3%, Ⅲ -Ⅳ stage accounted for 54.7%; 27 cases (18.24%) of surrounding tissue invasion, 9 cases (6.1%) of
distant metastases, 10 cases (6.76%) of contralateral thyroid metastases, 56 cases (37.84%) of cervical lymph node metastasis; 1-year,
3-year, 5-year survival rates were 97.3%, 93.2%, 83.8%. Age, pathological bed staging, histological type, lymph node metastasis, distant
metastasis and surrounding tissue invasion were the important clinical prognostic factors (P<0.05).Conclusion:Female patients with
thyroid carcinoma have adverse prognostic factors of late staging, serious pathological type, high lymph node metastasis, distant
metastasis and local invasion rate, and the early imaging examination is important for guide of clinical treatment. |
