ABSTRACT

Introducción: La incidencia del cáncer de tiroides (CT) ha ido en aumento en las últimas décadas. Existen pocos datos en nuestro país con respecto a la epidemiología del CT. Objetivo: Evaluar la incidencia de CT en la provincia de Río Negro (RN) durante el período 2004-2013. Métodos: Se revisaron todos los informes histológicos con diagnóstico de CT durante este período en el departamento de General Roca, que representa el 50% de la población de la provincia de RN. Se calcularon las tasas de incidencia y se dividió el período de estudio en 2 quinquenios para evaluar si existió un aumento de la misma. Se evaluaron además otras variables como: edad, sexo, tipo histológico, multicentricidad, presencia de adenopatías metastásicas y pertenencia al sistema de salud público o privado. Resultados: Encontramos una incidencia de 6,77 nuevos casos/100.000 hab/año (10,76 en mujeres y 2,48 en hombres). Cuando evaluamos el número de casos de CT por quinquenio, observamos 41 casos en el primero y 116 en el segundo, con una tasa de incidencia que aumentó de 4,52 a 9,30 /100.000 hab/año. Del total de los casos encontrados, un 98,7% de ellos fueron carcinomas papilares de tiroides (CPT), un 22,9% presentaba adenopatías metastásicas, un 36,9% fueron multifocales, un 80,2% mujeres y un 75,8% pertenecía al sector privado de salud. La media de tamaño tumoral fue de 19,9 ± 14,32 mm, sin diferencias significativas entre los 2 períodos de estudio. Se observó un aumento en la proporción de tumores < 10 mm en el último quinquenio (del 27% en el primero al 35% en el segundo). Si bien este aumento no fue significativo (p = 0,35), se evidencia una tendencia en ascenso de los microcarcinomas. Conclusión: La incidencia de CT en la provincia de RN es similar a la reportada en la literatura y observamos un aumento de la misma durante el período de estudio.


Introduction: The incidence of thyroid cancer (TC) has been increasing over the last twenty years or so. There are few data in our country with regard to the epidemiology of this disease. Objective: To assess the incidence of thyroid cancer in the province of Río Negro (RN) for the period 2004- 2013. Methods: All histological reports with TC diagnosis within the study period in the department of General Roca, which represents 50% of the population of RN province, were assessed. Incidence rates were calculated, and the study period was divided into two five-year segments to evaluate the possibility of an increased incidence. Other variables were also assessed, including age, sex, histological type, multicentricity, presence of metastatic lymph nodes, diagnosis and treatment, and whether in public or private health institutions. Results: There was an incidence of 6.77 new cases/100,000 inhabitants/year, (10.76 in women and 2.48 in men). Evaluation of the number of TC cases per five-year period showed 41 cases in the first period and 116 in the second, with an incidence rate that increased from 4.52 to 9.30/100,000 inhabitants/year. Almost all cases (98.7%) were found to be Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma, 22.9% showed metastatic lymph nodes, and 36.9% were multifocal. Also, of the total population in study, 80.2% were women, and 75.8% were treated in the private health sector. Mean tumour volume was 19.9 mm ± 14.32 mm, with no significant differences between the two study periods. An increase from 27% to 35% was observed in the proportion of tumours smaller than 10 mm in the second period. Although this increase was not statistically significanct (P = .35), a rising trend is observed. Conclusion: Incidence of TC in the province of RN is similar to that reported in the literature and an increase in its incidence was observed during the study period.
