Survival Trends in Pediatric Differentiated Thyroid Cancer: A Middle Eastern Perspective

Akram Al-Ibraheem,

Ahmed Saad Abdlkadir
et al.

Abstract: Pediatric Differentiated Thyroid Cancer (pedDTC) is a rare pediatric malignancy with an increasing incidence over time. To date, there is a paucity of literature specifically addressing pedDTC within the context of Middle Eastern ethnicity. This retrospective study aimed to assess the risk-stratifying factors for overall survival (OS) and event-free survival (EFS) in pediatric DTC patients from Iraq and Jordan. The medical records of 81 patients from two tertiary cancer institutes were retrieved. Kaplan–Meier … Show more

“…Surgical intervention has been found to reduce mortality and event rates in cases of operable TC, even when dealing with microcarcinomas ( 43 ). Furthermore, research has indicated that radioactive iodine therapy can significantly enhance survival outcomes for individuals with differentiated TC ( 44 47 ). For example, a large study involving 96,557 patients demonstrated that the use of radioactive iodine was linked to improved disease-specific survival in this population ( 48 ).…”
