Chaning Trends in the Incidence of Carcinoma Thyroid –A Clinico Pathological Correlation
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
Thyroid tumours are the most common endocrine neoplasms. (1) 5-10% of all clinically presenting thyroid nodules are carcinomas. Thyroid malignancies are divided into-Well-differentiated Carcinomas of which papillary carcinomas (80%), follicular carcinomas (10%), modularly thyroid carcinomas (5-10%) are the most common types, and Undifferentiated anaplastic carcinomas are less (1-2%). Primary thyroid lymphomas and primary thyroid sarcomas are rare. The recent rise in incidence of thyroid swellings is also recorded in India (2) and may be traced to the increased patient awareness and also due to increased specificity of the investigations (8) .The availability of trained pathologist in the interpretation of the cytology picture has contributed to a sensitivity of the diagnosis especially for malignancies of thyroid gland (11) .
