ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the clinical characters, management and prognostic factors of patients with differentiated invasive thyroid carcinoma (DITC). Methods The data were analyzed retrospectively for 114 DITC patients treated at Department of Head and Neck Surgery of Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center. Survival analysis was performed by Kaplan-Meier method, comparison among/between groups was performed using log-rank test, and multivariate analysis was carried out using Cox proportional hazard model. Results After surgery, 68 patients were with tumor residue. The 5-year and 10-year overall survival rate were 91.9% and 80.1% respectively in all patients, while the 10-year overall survival rate were 88.5% 、78.5% and 53.1% in no tumor residue group, micro-residue group and grossresidue group respectively. This study failed to prove that radiotherapy might improve the survival rate in patients with postoperative tumor residue. Multivariate analysis indicated that age, invasion to esophagus and recurrence predict the prognosis. Conclusion DITC may be treated mainly by surgical operation. Radical resection is the key factor in the treatment of DITC. Patients with DITC have a relatively poor prognosis.Age, esophagus invasion and status of tumor residue are the most important factors affecting the prognosis.
