          Abstract

          ABSTRACT Introduction: Thyroid cancer is the most prevalent endocrine neoplasm and the third most common tumor in Colombian women. It has a good prognosis in the absence of metastasis. The lungs are the most affected tissue by metastasis in patients with thyroid cancer. The objective of this work was to describe the prevalence of thoracic metastases in patients with thyroid cancer in a cancer reference hospital from Bogotá, between 2016 and 2019. Materials and methods: The study was cross-sectional, with non-probabilistic sampling of consecutive cases in patients older than 18 with thyroid cancer who were attended at the National Cancer Institute between 2016 and 2019. Results: 241 patients were included in the study; 53 had thoracic metastases. The mean age of patients with metastasis was 59.6 years (SD ± 12.7); 77.3% were female and 90.5% showed papillary carcinoma. The prevalence of thoracic metastases was 21.9%. The most common comorbidity was arterial hypertension (32.08%). The most common symptom was dyspnea, with 15%. 34% of patients had thyroglobulin of more than 38 ng/ml and 22% had detectable anti-thyroglobulin antibodies. Variables associated with thoracic metastases were age (p = 0.002), weight (p = 0.019), cervical adenopathies (p = 0.007), presence of dyspnea (p = 0.004), and thyroglobulin values greater than 38 ng/ml (p < 0.001). Cervical adenopathies were found in 86% of patients with metastasis, suggesting the fact that they are a risk marker for metastasis. Conclusions: This study allows us to establish local data, whose results promote future prospective studies that identify associated variables and prognostic factors in patients with thyroid cancer.

          RESUMEN Introducción: El cáncer de tiroides es la neoplasia endocrina más prevalente y el tercer tumor más frecuente en las mujeres colombianas. Tiene buen pronóstico en ausencia de metástasis. Los pulmones son el tejido más comprometido por metástasis en pacientes con cáncer de tiroides. El objetivo del trabajo fue describir la prevalencia de las metástasis torácicas en pacientes con cáncer de tiroides en un centro de referencia en cáncer de la ciudad de Bogotá entre 2016 y 2019. Material y métodos: El estudio fue de corte transversal con muestreo no probabilístico de casos consecutivos en pacientes mayores de 18 años con cáncer de tiroides que asistieron a consulta externa de del Instituto Nacional de Cancerología entre 2016 y 2019. Resultados: Se incluyeron 241 pacientes; 53 presentaron metástasis torácicas. Dentro de los pacientes con metástasis el promedio de edad fue de 59,6 años (DE ± 12,7), 77,3% fueron mujeres, y el 90,5% presentó carcinoma papilar. La prevalencia de metástasis torácicas fue del 21,9%. Las comorbilidades más frecuentes fueron hipertensión arterial (32,08%). El síntoma más frecuente fue la disnea en un 15%. El 34% presentaron tiroglobulina mayor de 38 ng/mL y un 22% tenían anticuerpos antitiroglobulina detectables. Las variables asociadas a metástasis torácicas fueron la edad (p = 0,002), el peso (p = 0,019), adenopatías cervicales (p = 0,007), presencia de disnea (p = 0,004) y tiroglobulina mayor de 38 ng/mL (p < 0,001). La presencia de adenopatías cervicales se encontró en el 86% de los pacientes con metástasis, lo que sugiere que se trata de un marcador de riesgo de metástasis. Conclusiones: El presente estudio permite establecer datos locales, cuyos resultados promueven futuros estudios prospectivos que identifiquen variables asociadas y factores pronósticos en pacientes con cáncer de tiroides.

          Global Cancer Statistics 2018: GLOBOCAN Estimates of Incidence and Mortality Worldwide for 36 Cancers in 185 Countries

          This article provides a status report on the global burden of cancer worldwide using the GLOBOCAN 2018 estimates of cancer incidence and mortality produced by the International Agency for Research on Cancer, with a focus on geographic variability across 20 world regions. There will be an estimated 18.1 million new cancer cases (17.0 million excluding nonmelanoma skin cancer) and 9.6 million cancer deaths (9.5 million excluding nonmelanoma skin cancer) in 2018. In both sexes combined, lung cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer (11.6% of the total cases) and the leading cause of cancer death (18.4% of the total cancer deaths), closely followed by female breast cancer (11.6%), prostate cancer (7.1%), and colorectal cancer (6.1%) for incidence and colorectal cancer (9.2%), stomach cancer (8.2%), and liver cancer (8.2%) for mortality. Lung cancer is the most frequent cancer and the leading cause of cancer death among males, followed by prostate and colorectal cancer (for incidence) and liver and stomach cancer (for mortality). Among females, breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer and the leading cause of cancer death, followed by colorectal and lung cancer (for incidence), and vice versa (for mortality); cervical cancer ranks fourth for both incidence and mortality. The most frequently diagnosed cancer and the leading cause of cancer death, however, substantially vary across countries and within each country depending on the degree of economic development and associated social and life style factors. It is noteworthy that high-quality cancer registry data, the basis for planning and implementing evidence-based cancer control programs, are not available in most low- and middle-income countries. The Global Initiative for Cancer Registry Development is an international partnership that supports better estimation, as well as the collection and use of local data, to prioritize and evaluate national cancer control efforts.

            Pulmonary metastases in differentiated thyroid cancer: efficacy of radioiodine therapy and prognostic factors.

              Pulmonary metastases in differentiated thyroid carcinoma. Study of 58 cases with implications for the primary tumor treatment.

              Fifty-eight cases of pulmonary metastases (PM) from 831 cases of differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) were studied. PM were found in about 10% of follicular and 5% of papillary tumors. 131I uptake was found in 55% of the cases, irrespective of histology. Twenty-one patients were treated by 131I only and 12 were cured. Micronodular metastases, 92% papillary, with 86% positive 131I uptake and 77% 8-year survival rate, are the most favorable forms. In others the influence of PM size/age, uptake, delay of appearance, presence of cervical or mediastinal lymph nodes is discussed. Occurrence of late PM according to treatment of the primary tumor was 1.3% thyroidectomy + 131I; 3% thyroidectomy; 5% partial thyroidectomy + 131I; 11% partial thyroidectomy only. Thus prevention in DTC of severe PM (28% 8-year survival rate) can best be achieved by complete thyroidectomy + 131I ablation dose.
