Abstract
Objective To analyze the clinical features of Hashimoto thyroiditis with thyroid cancer, and provide scientific basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment. Methods The clinical data of 87 patients of Hashimoto thyroiditis with thyroid cancer and 105 patients of Hashimoto thyroiditis were retrospectively analyzed. Results The rates of Hashimoto thyroiditis with thyroid cancer in age 0.05). There were statistical differences in total thyroxine (TT4), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), thyroglobulin antibody (TgAb) and thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb) levels between Hashimoto thyroiditis with thyroid cancer and Hashimoto thyroiditis, there were statistical differences (P<0.05 or <0.01). Multiariable Logistic regression analysis result showed that the decreased serum level of TT4 and the increased levels of TSH, TgAb and TPOAb were the correlated factors of Hashimoto thyroiditis with thyroid cancer (P <0.05 or <0.01). Conclusions Low level of TT4 and high levels of TSH, TgAb and TPOAb may increase the risk of Hashimoto thyroiditis with thyroid cancer. The 30 -49 years male patients with Hashimoto thyroiditis should be highly suspected of the possibility of merger thyroid cancer. Key words: Thyroiditis, autoimmune; Thyroid neoplasms; Thyroxine; Thyroid stimulating hormone; Thyroglobulin antibody
