Objective: Thyroid tumors are among the most common head and neck malignancies. In this study, thyroid cancer cases diagnosed in our department were examined in the light of the literature.
Material and Method: All thyroid cancer patients operated between 2010 and 2020 were included in the study. The clinicopathological features of the cases were analyzed statistically.
Results: Thyroid tumors were seen 4 times more in women than men. 48.7% of our patients were in the 40-59 age group, and 32.8% were in the 20-39 age group. Localized tumor was present in 80.6% of the cases, and metastatic tumor was present in 18.4%. Thyroid cancers were found with the highest rate in the 40-49 age range in women and the highest rate in the 50-59 age range in men. Localized tumor stage was determined with the highest rate with 65.3%. Also, localized tumor stages were detected in 69.8% of women and 54.7% of men. When the distribution of thyroid cancers by gender was investigated, a statistically significant difference was found in terms of stage (p<0.001), age (p<0.001), and lypmh node status (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Our findings show that the early diagnosis of patients with thyroid tumors has increased considerably in our country. Also, our statistical results were similar to the literature and this shows that our country is successful in the management of thyroid tumors.

Tiroid tümörlerinin istatistiksel olarak incelenmesi: 10 yıllık retrospektif bir çalışma

Öz

Amaç: Tiroid tümörleri baş-boyun maligniteleri arasında en sık görülen tümörlerdendir. Bu çalışmada bölümümüzde tanı almış tiroid kanseri olguları literatür bilgileri eşliğinde incelendi.
Gereç ve Yöntem: 2010-2020 yılları arasında opere edilmiş tüm tiroid kanser hastaları çalışmaya dahil edildi. Olguların klinikopatolojik özellikleri istatistiksel olarak analiz edildi.
Bulgular: Tiroid tümörleri kadınlarda erkeklere göre 4 kat fazla görüldü. Hastalarımızın %48,7’i 40-59 yaş grubunda, %32,8’si 20-39 yaş grubunda yer almakta idi. Olguların %80,6’sında lokalize tümör, %18,4’ünde ise metastatik tümör mevcut idi. Tiroid kanserleri kadınlarda 40-49 yaş aralığında en yüksek oranda; erkeklerde ise 50-59 yaş aralığında en yüksek oranda saptandı. Lokalize tümör evresi %65,3 ile en yüksek oranda tespit edildi. Ayrıca kadınlara %69,8 erkeklerde ise %54,7 oranlarında lokalize tümör evresi saptandı. Tiroid kanserlerinin cinsiyet açısından dağılımı araştırıldığında, evre (p<0,001), yaş (p<0,0001) ve lenf nodu durumu (p<0,05) açısından istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark görüldü.
Sonuç: Bulgularımız ülkemizde tiroid tümörlü olguların erken teşhisinin oldukça arttığını göstermektedir. Ayrıca istatistiksel sonuçlarımız literatür ile benzerdi ve bu durum ülkemizin tiroid tümörlerinin yönetiminde başarılı olduğunu göstermektedir.
