“…A signifi cant difference in survival rates between the age groups less than 50 and over 50 in our study is con-sistent with a study [28] in which an inverse correlation was reported between survival experience and increasing age. This is attributed to the greater frequency of anaplastic and undifferentiated tumours, which occur at a later age and are associated with a low survival rate.…”

[18] Cancers of the thyroid are relatively uncommon in different areas of the world.…”
