Evaluation of thyroid cancer prevalence in patients with graves disease

Abstract

Aim: Although Graves’ disease and thyroid cancer are commonly occurring diseases, simultaneous occurence is rare. Hyperthyroidism is believed to be protective against thyroid cancer hence the rare simultaneous occurrence. In our study we intend to evaluate thyroid cancer prevalence in patients operated for Graves’ disease in our center.

Materials and Methods: Files of 210 patients who underwent total thyroidectomy for Graves’ disease between 2009- 2018 were retrospectively reviewed. Demographic and clinical features of 38 patients with thyroid cancer diagnosis in the pathology report were evaluated.

Results: In our study 25 (65.8%) of the patients were women, 13 (34.2%) were men and the average age was 40 (17-68). In ultrasonographic imaging 20% (43/210) of the patients had thyroid nodules, while 57% (22/38) of patients with confirmed carcinoma in the pathologic evaluation had thyroid nodules. Functional neck dissection was performed on1 patient secondary to thyroidectomy. 12 of the patient received radioactive iodine treatment. Our average followup period was 30 (3-108) months. During the follow-up 2 (5.2%) patients had recurrence of papillary cancer in the thryoidectomy area at 12th and 18th months. Both patients received RAI treatment. There was no subsequent recurrence in the follow-up of both the patients. 

Conclusion: Although simultaneous occurrence of Graves’ disease and thyroid cancer is rare, fine needle aspiration biopsy should be performed on Graves’ disease patients where ultrasound imaging during follow-up reveals findings of thyroid nodules. Moreover, surgery should be a priority option as treatment modality in Graves’ disease accompanied by thyroid nodules.
