Clinico-pathological Features and Survival Time of Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma in Patients With and Without Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis: A Cross-sectional Study

Objectives: Researchers have reported different results regarding the association between Hashimoto’s disease and papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). Some believe that coexistence of these diseases can lead to fewer tumor invasion recurrence rates. This study evaluated clinico-pathological features survival time PTC in patients with without thyroiditis. Materials Methods: In this cross-sectional study, medical records 251 participants who underwent total or subtotal thyroidectomy due from 2012 2019 were reviewed. The participants, such as age, gender, stage, size, lymph node involvement, metastasis, capsular invasion, single multi-focal status, recorded their pathology report compared two groups Results: From 92 (36.6%) had thyroiditis, whereas 159 (63.4%) did not show any signs disease. Fifteen Hashimoto group 46 non-Hashimoto a recurrence. Although there no significant differences term rate (P = 0.08), mean was significantly difference (69.03 58.78, respectively; P 0.038) Conclusions: Results revealed thyroiditis could increase PTC.
