The gender and age characteristics of morbidity of thyroid cancer

Abstract

The thyroid cancer is the most prevalent oncologic disease of endocrine organs, characterized by multi factorial risk of development. The purpose of the study was to analyze dynamics of indices of thyroid cancer morbidity of population of the Russian Federation, considering gender and age differences in 2008-2018. The increase of "rough" indicator of thyroid cancer morbidity of male population made up to 56.6%, and of female population - 48.3%. The dynamics of standardized indicator in gender contingents was characterized by increasing up to 48.7% in males and up to 43.9% in females. There is an increasing of thyroid cancer morbidity with age and prevalence of the morbidity in females as compared with males in all age categories. The highest morbidity was established in male population aged 65-69 years (8.3 per 100,000 population) and in females aged 55-64 years (27.3 per 100,000 population). In the territories of the Russian Federation, in the gender aspect, variations in thyroid cancer morbidity were established. both in male and female populations, maximal thyroid cancer morbidity was established in the North Western and Siberian Federal Okrugs, and morbidity below national level was registered in the Privolzhskiy and North Caucasian Federal Okrugs. It is necessary to take into account differentiation of the territories of the Russian Federation in terms of the thyroid cancer morbidity in different gender and age groups for development of rational measures of early identification of risk factors, diagnosis and treatment of patients.
