Abstract:

OBJECTIVE: To study the clinical characteristics of thyroid cancer in Xinjiang. METHODS: We collected information of 907 cases from the archive and analyzed the difference among the morbidity trend,gender,age,and ethnic groups. RESULTS: The number of thyroid cancer patients had markedly increased year by year. Among the cancer,papillary thyroid cancer (90.96%) was the dominant type. Morbidity of thyroid cancer showed significant differences among various age ranges and gender (male to female ratio of 1/2.88)(P < 0.05). However,both genders had the same age peak (40-49). In this age group,cases increased in women over men. The types of thyroid cancer was different between Han and Uyghur (P < 0.05),with the ratio of papillary thyroid cancer higher in Han than in Uyghur (93.77% and 83%,respectively). CONCLUSION: The incidence of thyroid cancer had increased in the Xinjiang population over the last 10 years. The increase in female was higher than that in male. The peak age was 40-49. The main pathology type was papillary thyroid cancer which showed ethnic differences.
