Abstract
Objective. To analyze the results of treatment and prognostic factors of general and relapse-free survival in patients with locally advanced welldifferentiated thyroid cancer who received surgical treatment, radiation therapy, radioiodine therapy and chemotherapy.
Methods. The retrospective study included patients with a verified diagnosis of locally advanced well-differentiated thyroid cancer who received treatment at the National Medical Research Centre of Oncology n. a. N. N. Petrov (Saint Petersburg, Russia). The study endpoints were overall and disease-free survival.
Results. Seventy-six patients were included in the study. The average age of patients was 60.0 (20.3) years, the median age was 62.0 (52.8–73.0) years. 25 (32.9 %) of 76 patients were male. The median overall survival was 109.0 months, and the 5-year overall survival rate was 80 months (95 % CI: 65.6–97.5). The median relapse-free survival was 108.6 months (the lower limit was 95 % CI was 56.7), and the 5-year relapse-free survival rate was 62.1 months (95 % CI: 46.5–83.0).
Conclusion. Analysis of risk factors revealed a statistically significant relationship between tumor invasion into the larynx and chemotherapy. Factors such as the patient’s age and neck lymph node surgery are associated with the risk of recurrence or death.
