The clinicopathologic characteristics of familial and sporadic papillary thyroid carcinoma in Turkish patients
The clinicopathologic characteristics of familial and sporadic papillary thyroid carcinoma in Turkish patients
compare them with sporadic papillary thyroid carcinoma (sPTC) in Turkish patients. A retrospective analysis of the papillary thyroidcarcinoma (PTC) cases, with or without family history with a follow-up around 10 years was performed.Materials and methods: A series of patients with fPTC (82 fPTC families with 146 affected individuals) were compared with patients withsPTC (n = 112). The clinicopathologic features [(age, gender, histologic subtype, tumour size, bilaterality, multifocality, extrathyroidalextension (ETE), lymph node metastasis (LNM)] and treatment procedures (lymph node dissection, radioactive iodine ablation), andthe outcomes like recurrences in the neck region, distant metastasis, and the need for reoperation were compared between the groups.Results: When the groups were compared, there was no significant difference in age (P = 0.449), and tumour size (P = 0.898) betweenfamilial and sporadic PTC patients. fPTC group had a significantly higher risk of male gender (P=0.001), bilaterality (P = 0.004),multifocality (P = 0.011), LNM (P = 0.013), ETE (P = 0.040), and distant metastasis (P ≤ 0.0001) than the sPTC group. However,recurrence rate was similar between the 2 groups (P = 0.436).Conclusion: The results of this study confirms a more aggressive nature in fPTC patients, in terms of bilaterality, multifocality, ETE,LNM, and distant metastasis, compared to sPTC patients in Turkish population.
