Abstract

Thyroid carcinoma is rare in young children, with a sharp increase in incidence among adolescents and young adults between 15 and 29 years of age. The incidence of thyroid carcinoma is increasing worldwide. Limited prospective population-based data are available to describe diagnostic and treatment practices in this age group. This study undertook a population-based review of thyroid carcinoma among 0- to 29-year-old individuals in Ontario, Canada, utilizing linked administrative data to describe the demographic and care patterns over nearly two decades. Cases from the Ontario Cancer Registry were identified and linked to administrative data sources at the Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences. Cases diagnosed prior to a patient's 30th birthday between 1992 and 2010 were considered eligible. Billing records identified ultrasonography, fine-needle aspiration biopsy, radioiodine therapy, and surgical approach. A total of 2552 patients aged 0-29 years were diagnosed with thyroid carcinoma during the study period. There was a 2.1-fold increase in standardized incidence rate over the 19 years of this study. Thyroid carcinoma was diagnosed subsequent to a prior malignancy in 47/2552 patients at a median interval of 11.6 years af...Continue Reading
