RESUMEN
Recientemente hemos reportado el déficit de selenio ambiental, y el estatus alterado de selenio medido como actividad de Glutatión Peroxidasa en población beneficiaria del Servicio de Salud de Osorno. Estos déficits se asocian a alteraciones funcionales y estructurales del tiroides que se correlacionan con la aparición de enfermedades tiroídeas benignas y cáncer tiroídeo. El objetivo de este trabajo es mostrar la tasa de tiroidectomías por cáncer y por enfermedades benignas que se presentan en las comunas que habitan la población beneficiaria del Servicio de Salud Osorno y llamar la atención sobre su posible asociación con el estatus alterado de selenio y la menor actividad de Glutatión Peroxidasa descrita previamente.
ABSTRACT
We have recently reported the lack of environmental selenium and the altered selenium status measured as deficient glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activity in the population affiliated to the Osorno Health Service. These deficits are associated to functional and structural abnormalities of the thyroid gland that correlates with the appearance of benign thyroid pathologies and thyroid cancer. The aim of this investigation is to show the rate of thyroidectomy associated with malign and benign disease in the communities associated to the Osorno Health Service and warn about their possible link with the poor amount of selenium in the environment and the altered function of the GPx enzyme, previously described.
