Thyroid cancer registry in "Ljudevit Jurak" Clinical department of pathology and it's connections to the National registry of cancer

Aims: To connect Hospital Thyroid Cancer registry with National Registry of Cancer and therefore to gain access to follow-up data, that combined with our registry will make possible better patient control and various research studies. Methods: Thyroid Cancer registry was filled with data from biopsy findings after surgical treatment in Univ.Hosp. "Sestre Milosrdnice", accompanied with other clinical findings and relevant data from National Registry of Cancer. Results: Department of clinical pathology created Thyroid Diseases registry, including all thyroid patients from 1980 to 1999. There is total of 3944 patients. Of those tumors were found in 1404 cases (35, 6 %), benign tumors in 979 cases (24, 8 %), and non-tumor changes in 2540 cases (64, 4 %) with goiter as most common in 2021 cases (51, 2 % of all changes). Thyroid cancer in our registry comes with 425 cases. Of those carcinoma papillare in 257 cases (60, 5 %) with female to male ratio of 3, 2 to 1. Ca. folliculare in 71 cases (16, 7 %) with F:M=2, 1:1. Ca.medulare comes with 35 cases (8, 2 %) and F:M=1, 5:1. Ca. anaplasticum was found in 32 cases (7, 5 %) with F:M=1, 9:1. Other carcinomas were found in 30 cases. Folowing our intention to make follow-up of our patients, we've connected to National Registry of Cancer and found that 5 year survival for Ca. papilare is 97 %, Ca. folliculare 93 % and for the Ca. medullare 78 %. Long term (15 year) survival as follows: Ca. papillare 91 %, Ca.folliculare 87 % and for Ca. medullare 55 % (both types). Conclusion: Our results are in with correlation with those qouted in literature, analyzing large series and long time peroid studies.
