Description

The aim of the study was to determine the incidence of thyroid cancer in toxic goitre. Based on the material from 14500 goitre surgeries, including 3466 patients with toxic goitre, incidence of thyroid cancer, in relation to age and sex of the patients were determined. In 14500 goitre surgeries, 12887 women and 1613 men (F:M 7.99:1), 639 (4.4%) cases of thyroid cancer were found. Among 3466 patients with toxic goitre, thyroid cancer was found in 21 cases (0.6%) / 20 females and 1 male, including 18 nodular toxic goitre and 3 Graves disease cases. The difference between the incidence of thyroid cancer in nontoxic and toxic goitre is statistically significant. (author)
