Abstract EN
The aim of this study was to analyze and describe the epidemiological characteristics and trends of thyroid cancer in the province of Sassari (Sardinia, Italy), an area with epidemic thyroid goiter, in the period 1992–2010.
Data were obtained from the local tumor registry which makes part of a wider registry web, coordinated today by the Italian Association for Tumor Registries.
An increasing trend in the incidence of thyroid cancer in the province of Sassari was evidenced.
This trend seems to follow the general worldwide trend and does not seem to be related to the high incidence of thyroid goiter in the area.
The frequencies of the different histological subtypes were similar to those reported in numerous national and international reports.
Women are affected earlier than men and, therefore, suffer greater professional, economic, and social impacts.
Overall mortality is low and a relative 5-year survival is excellent, especially in comparison to other malignancies.
