Abstract
Our aim was to determine the correlation of a well differentiated thyroid carcinoma with gender and age. Our retrospective study evaluated 736 patients received ablation therapy between 2008 and 2011, consisted of 600 females and 136 males. The rate of female to male was 4,4/1 in differentiated thyroid carcinoma. Our patients aged between 14 to 89 during the diagnosis with a mean age of 46,9±12,8. The mean diagnosis age was 47,2±13,1 for females, while 46,1±13,3 for males. Papillary carcinoma was found as the most common type of tumor with 87% and the second common type was follicular carcinoma with 11%. In all type of thyroid cancers female patients were more than males. There was not any statistically significant difference between the mean diagnosis age for follicular thyroid cancer and for papillary thyroid cancer.
