Slide2Overview
Over last 25 years:
Relative survival from thyroid cancer by sex, country, age, period and histological type
Thyroid cancer incidence – increased
Mortality trends – stable
Slide3Methods
Data from 29 countries
1.One and five year Relative Survival Rates for adult patients diagnosed in 2000-2007 and followed-up till end of 2008
2. Trends in Relative Survival Rates in1999-2007 period
3. 10-year Relative Survival Rates in 2005-2007
Slide4Results (incidence)
Overall 5-yr Relative Survival
Women – 88%; Men – 81%
Strong correlation by country between
survival
and
incidence rates and histological type
:
Highest incidence, survival, papillary type (79%) in Southern Europe.
Lowest in UK and Ireland – papillary type (58%);
Follicular type (23% - 15% in Europe)

Slide7Results (Histology)
5-yr Relative Survival vs histology
Papillary (98% in woman; 94% in men)
Follicular (92% in women; 87% in men)
Medullary (88% in women; 75% in men)
Anaplastic (14% in women; 12% in men)

Men

94.6 (90.9-98.5)
Slide12Thyroid cancer survival trends
5-yr RS over period 1999-2007
All thyroid cancers +5%
Papillary thyroid cancer +2%
Follicular thyroid cancer +4%
In women only, medullary and anaplastic cancers +7%
Slide13Conclusions
Trends in thyroid cancer survival and country differences seem to be explained by:
Varying histological case-mix
Age distribution of cases
Results could inform management strategies aimed at reducing unnecessary and harmful treatments that negatively impinge on patients’ quality of life
