Abstract

Differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) is one of the most common metabolic disorders and accounts for 98% of all cases of thyroid cancer. Previously, a number of studies have investigated the prognostic factors associated with well‑differentiated thyroid carcinoma (WDTC); however, these studies yielded conflicting results. The current study used a retrospective study design to collect data from WDTC patients who had received the same treatment regimen from the same institute, with a minimum follow‑up of 10 years. The De Groot staging system was used to classify WDTC in a total of 320 patients (240 females and 80 males). Among the subjects, the pathological subtypes identified were as follows: Papillary carcinoma (240 cases, 75%), follicular carcinoma (67 cases, 21%) and Hürthle cell carcinoma (13 cases, 4%). Prognostic factors that significantly affected the clinical outcome of the disease were advanced age (P=0.001), tumor size (P=0.03), presence of thyroglobulin (P=0.001) and De Groot stage (P=0.005). The 10‑year follow‑up study revealed that WDTC is associated with a high survival rate of 96% (307/320 patients survived) and a low mortality rate (4%).
