Prevalence of different types of thyroid cancer among patients who underwent total thyroidectomy at 401 General Military Hospital of Athens between June 2017 and June 2018

Introduction: Prevalence is defined as "the number of cases of a disease present in a population at a given time". Thyroid cancer is one of the most important endocrine malignancies and its prevalence is increasing worldwide. However, there are different types of thyroid cancer and many different factors that may affect the prevalence of each type, so it is important to study the prevalence of different types of thyroid cancer in different conditions and populations.
Purpose: The main purpose of the present study was to investigate the prevalence of different types of thyroid cancer among patients who had undergone total thyroidectomy.
Methodology: The sample of the present study was 67 patients who had undergone total thyroidectomy at 401 General Military Hospital of Athens between June 2017 and June 2018. The data were processed with the statistical software SPSSv20.
Results: The prevalence of the biggest thyroid nodule being malignant among patients who underwent thyroidectomy was 0.22. Focusing on the different types of thyroid cancer, the prevalence of papillary carcinoma was equal to 0.37, whereas the prevalence of medullary carcinoma was equal to 0.045.
Conclusions: Papillary carcinoma was by far the type with the highest prevalence, whereas medullary carcinoma had a significantly lower prevalence rate.
