Increasing Incidence of Thyroid Cancer


in the United States, 1973-2002
Louise Davies, MD, MS, H.Gilbert Welch, MD, MPH
Context Increasing cancer incidence is typically interpreted as an increase in the true occurrence of disease but may also
F reflect changing pathological criteria or increased diagnostic scrutiny. Changes in the diagnostic approach to thyroid nodules
may have
resulted in an increase in the apparent incidence of thyroid cancer.
T Objective To examine trends in thyroid cancer incidence, histology, size distribution, and mortality in the United States.
Methods Retrospective cohort evaluation of patients with thyroid cancer, 1973-2002, using the Surveillance, Epidemiology,

V and End Results (SEER) program and data on thyroid cancer mortality from the National Vital Statistics System.
Main Outcome Measures Thyroid cancer incidence, histology, size distribution, and mortality.
Results The incidence of thyroid cancer increased from 3.6 per 100 000 in 1973 to 8.7 per 100 000 in 2002—a 2.4-fold
increase (95% confidence interval [CI], 2.2-2.6; P.001 for trend). There was no significant change in the incidence of the less
common
histological types: follicular, medullary, and anaplastic (P.20 for trend). Virtually the entire increase is attributable to an
increase in incidence of papillary thyroid cancer, which increased from 2.7 to 7.7 per 100 000—a 2.9-fold increase (95% CI,
2.6-3.2; P.001 for trend). Between 1988 (the first year SEER collected data on tumor size) and 2002, 49% (95% CI, 47%-51%)
of the increase consisted of cancers measuring 1 cm or smaller; 87% (95% CI, 85%-89%) consisted of cancers measuring 2 cm
or smaller. Mortality from thyroid cancer was stable between 1973 and 2002 (approximately 0.5 deaths per 100 000).
Conclusions The increasing incidence of thyroid cancer in the United States is predominantly due to the increased detection of
small papillary cancers. These trends, combined with the known existence of a substantial reservoir of subclinical cancer and
stable overall mortality, suggest that increasing incidence reflects increased detection of subclinical disease, not an increase in
the true occurrence of thyroid cancer.

Occult Papillary Carcinoma of the Thyroid


A “Normal” Finding in Finland. A Systematic Autopsy Study
H. Ruben Harach, MD,* Kaarle O. Franssila, MD, And Veli-Matti Wasenius. BA

F The thyroids from 101 consecutive autopsies from Finland were subserially sectioned at 2- to 3-mm intervals. From
36 thyroids, 52 foci of occult papillary carcinoma (OPC) were found, giving a prevalence rate of 35.6%. the highest
reported rate in the world. The rate was higher, although not significantly, in males (43.3%) than in females (27.1%),
T but it did not correlate to the age of the patients. Twentysix glands contained one tumor focus and ten glands
contained two to five tumor foci. Only a minority of the smallest tumors can be detected with the method used. The
V probable number of OPCs over 0.15 mm in diameter was calculated to be about 300 in this material. The tumor
diameter varied from 0.15 mm to 14.0 mm, with 67% of tumors under 1.0 mm. The smallest tumors were usually
circumscribed and were composed almost solely of follicles. Larger tumors had more papillary structures and were
often invasive. Fibrosis and, in the largest OPCs, lymphocytic reaction were seen around the invasive islands. All
tumors were positively stained for thyroglobulin and all but one of the tumors stained positively for epidermal keratin.
OPC appears to arise from follicular cells of normal follicles. Apparently the great majority of the tumors remain
small and circumscribed and even from those few tumors that grow larger and become invasive OPCs only a minimal
proportion will ever become a clinical carcinoma. According to the study, OPC can be regarded as a normal finding
which should not be treated when incidentally found. In order to avoid unnecessary operations it is suggested that
incidentally found small OPCs (less than 5 mm in diameter) were called occult papillary tumor instead of carcinoma.

Introduction: The incidence of well differentiated thyroid cancer (WDTC) is rising in the USA. The objective of this
F study is to present the changes in incidence, presentation, management and outcomes of WDTC within our institution
over the past 8 decades.
T Methods: 2797 patients managed between 1932-2005 at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center were identified from
our institucional database.
Results: There has been an increase in the number of patients managed per decade. Although the median age was 45
V years, patients managed post-1985 were more likely to be over 45 years (53% versus 44%, p<0.001). The percentage of
womann increased from 68% to 72% (p=0.026), and the percentage of papillary carcinomas also increased, from 78% to
92%, p<0.001. An increase in early stage tumor was observed with pT1 lesions increasing from 19% to 48%. Patients
in the latter cohort were less likely to have thyroid lobectomy (29%. versus 72%, p<0.001). There was a significant
change in the use of RRA, with 8% of the early versus 44% of the latter group receiving post-operative RRA (p<0.001).
Since the introduction of risk group stratification disease specific survival (DSS) has not changed significantly. With a
median follow up of 90 months, 10 year DSS rates were below 90% in the cohort managed prior to the 1970s, which
rose to >95% thereafter (p<0.001).
Conclusions: Older poatients with earlier stage disease present an increasing workload for surgical oncologists.
Excellent outcomes remain unchanged despite increasingly aggressive surgical and medical management.

Papillary carcinoma of the thyroid. A discussion of its several

follicular variant.
Rosaí J, Zampi G, Carcangiu ML.

F
Abstract
T
Papillary carcinoma of the thyroid has been classically defined on the basis of the presence and even the
V predominance of papillary formations within the tumor. Changes in this traditional concept have evolved along
two separate but related lines. The first is the realization that well-differentiated tumors having a papillary
component, however minimal, will exhibit the behavior of papillary carcinoma even in the presence of extensive
areas with a sclerosing, solid, or follicular pattern of growth. The second is an increased reliance on cytologic
criteria (particularly the ground-glass nucleus) rather than architectural features for the identification of papillary
carcinoma. Through the use of these criteria in association with various clinical features, evidence is put forward in
support of the concept of a follicular variant of papillary carcinoma, i.e., a tumor type in which papillae are nil or
absent but which still belongs by cell type and clinicopathologic behavior to the group of papillary carcinomas.

Overexpression of p53 in tall cell variants of


papillary thyroid carcinoma †
MD Anders Rüter, MD John Dreifus, MD M. Jones, MD Ronald Nishiyama, MD, PhD Sten Lennquist

F Background. The tall cell variant (TCV) is a clinically aggressive subtype of papillary thyroid cancer. The aim of this study
was to discover the prevalence of mutant forms of p53 protein in this subtype and relate it to clinical outcome.
T Methods. Eighteen patients with TCV and a control group with common papillary cancers, matched for age and gender, were
studied. The p53 mutations were identified by means of immunohistochemical staining. Data reviewed were overall survival,
V recurrence, TNM stage, and p53 positivity.

Results. p53 mutations occurred in 11 (61%) patients with TCV compared with two (11%) in control group (p=0.05). In the
TCV group two patients died of the disease (11%) and eight (44%) had local recurrences or distant metastases compared with
none in the control group. All deaths and 70% of the recurrences occurred in patients with stage III or IV disease. p53
positivity did not correlate with any reduction in survival (7% compared with 9%) but with increased rate of local (23%
compared with 4%) and distant (23% compared with 13%) recurrences.

Conclusions. TCV was associated with a significantly higher rate of p53 positivity than common papillary carcinoma. The
stage of the disease seemed to be a better prognostic indicator than p53 positivity for overall survival.

T Abstract
Twenty-four cases of the tall cell variant (TCV), a subset of papillary thyroid carcinoma, were identified in a
V group of 624 patients with thyroid cancer. All pathology specimens were reviewed, and each patient’s
carcinoma was categorized according to characteristics on presentation, local recurrence, distant metastases,
follow-up, and tumor-related mortality. The TCV group was compared with a historical control group
(Mazzaferri and Jhiang: 1355 patients). The TCV group had a statistically higher percentage of stage 3 and 4
carcinoma, extrathyroidal invasion, and tumor size less than 1.5 cm than the control group. There was no
statistical relationship between age greater than 50 years and stage in the TCV group. No relationship could be
found between TCV histology and recurrence or mortality. These findings, combined with those of studies that
link stage on presentation to poor outcomes, have led to our conclusion that TCV is an aggressive malignancy
warranting appropriate treatment and close follow-up. (Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg 2000;122:352-7.)

Long-term impact of initial surgical and medical


therapy on papillary and follicular thyroid cancer
Ernest L. Mazzaferri, MD, FACP, Sissy M. Jhiang, PhD
Abstract
Purpose: To determine the long-term impact of medical and surgical treatment of well differentiated papillary and follicular thyroid cancer.
Methods: Patients with papillary and follicular cancer (n = 1,355) treated either in U.S. Air Force or Ohio State University hospitals over the past 40
F years were prospectively followed by questionnaire or personal examination to determine treatment outcomes. Outcomes were analyzed by Kaplan-
Meier survival curves and Cox proportional-hazard regression model.
Results: Median follow-up was 15.7 years; 42% (568) of the patients were followed for 20 years and 14% (185) for 30 years. After 30 years, the survival
T rate was 76%, the recurrence rate was 30%, and the cancer death rate was 8%. Recurrences were most frequent at the extremes of age (<20 and >59
years). Cancer mortality rates were lowest in patients younger than 40 years and increased with each subsequent decade of life. Thirty-year cancer
mortality rates were greatest in follicular cancer patients, who were more likely to have adverse prognostic factors: older age, larger tumors, more
V mediastinal node involvement, and distant metastases. When patients with distant metasteses at diagnosis were excluded, follicular and papillary cancer
mortality rates were similar (10% versus 6%, P not significant [NS]). In a Cox regression model that excluded patients who presented with distant
metastases, the likelihood of cancer death was (1) increased by age ≥40 years, tumor size ≥1.5 cm, local tumor invasion, regional lymph-node
metastases, and delay in therapy ≥12 months; (2) reduced by female sex, surgery more extensive than lobectomy, and 131I plus thyroid hormone
therapy; and (3) unaffected by tumor histologic type. Following 131I therapy given only to ablate normal thyroid gland remnants, the recurrence rate
was less than one third the rate after thyroid hormone therapy alone (P <0.001). No patient treated in this way with 131I has died of thyroid cancer. Low
131I doses (29 to 50 mCi) were as effective as high doses (51 to 200 mCi) in controlling tumor recurrence (7% versus 9%, P = NS). Following 131I
therapy, whether given for thyroid remnant ablation or cancer therapy, recurrence and the likelihood of cancer death were reduced by at least half,
despite the existence of more adverse prognostic factors in patients given 131I. At 30 years, the cumulative cancer mortality rate following 131I
therapy, regardless of the reason for its use, was one third that in patients not so treated (P = 0.03).
Conclusion: Over the long term, for tumors ≥1.5 cm that are not initially metastatic to distant sites, near-total thyroidectomy followed by 131I plus
thyroid hormone therapy confers a distinct outcome advantage. This therapy reduces tumor recurrence and mortality sufficiently to offset the augmented
risks incurred by delayed therapy, age ≥40 at the time of diagnosis, and tumors that are much larger than 1.5 cm, multicentric, locally invasive, or
regionally metastatic.

T Background: A risk-adapted approach to management of thyroid cancer requires risk estimates that change over time based on response to therapy and
the course of the disease. The objective of this study was to validate the American Thyroid Association (ATA) risk of recurrence staging system and
determine if an assessment of response to therapy during the first 2 years of follow-up can modify these initial risk estimates.

V Methods: This retrospective review identified 588 adult follicular cell-derived thyroid cancer patients followed for a median of 7 years (range 1–15
years) after total thyroidectomy and radioactive iodine remnant ablation.
Patients were stratified according to ATA risk categories (low, intermediate, or high) as part of initial staging.
Clinical data obtained during the first 2 years of follow-up (suppressed thyroglobulin [Tg], stimulated Tg, and imaging studies) were used to re-stage
each patient based on response to initial therapy (excellent, acceptable, or incomplete). Clinical outcomes predicted by initial ATA risk categories were
compared with revised risk estimates obtained after response to therapy variables were used to modify the initial ATA risk estimates.
Results: Persistent structural disease or recurrence was identified in 3% of the low-risk, 21% of the intermediaterisk, and 68% of the high-risk patients
( p<0.001). Re-stratification during the first 2 years of follow-up reduced the likelihood of finding persistent structural disease or recurrence to 2% in
low-risk, 2% in intermediate-risk, and 14% in high-risk patients, demonstrating an excellent response to therapy (stimulated Tg<1 ng/mL without
structural evidence of disease). Conversely, an incomplete response to initial therapy (suppressed Tg > 1 ng/mL, stimulated Tg > 10 ng/mL, rising Tg
values, or structural disease identification within the first 2 years of follow-up) increased the likelihood of persistent structural disease or recurrence to
13% in low-risk, 41% in intermediate-risk, and 79% in high-risk patients.
Conclusions: Our data confirm that the newly proposed ATA recurrence staging system effectively predicts the risk of recurrence and persistent disease.
Further, these initial ATA risk estimates can be significantly refined based on the assessment of response to initial therapy, thereby providing a dynamic
risk assessment that can be used to more effectively tailor ongoing follow-up recommendations.

F Background: We showed previously that subclinical low-risk papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) could be observed without immediate
surgery. Patient age is an important prognostic factor of clinical papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). In this study, we investigated how patient
T Microcarcinomas papilares subclínicos
age influences the observation of low-risk PTMC.
Methods: Between 1993 and 2011, 1235 patients with low-risk PTMC chose observation without immediate surgery. They were followed
periodically with ultrasound examinations. These patients were enrolled in this study. We divided them into three subsets based on age at the
V beginning of observation: young (<40 years), middle-aged (40–59 years), and old patients ( ‡ 60 years). Observation periods ranged from 18 to
227 months (average 75 months).

Results: We set three parameters for the evaluation of PTMC progression: (i) size enlargement, (ii) novel appearance of lymph-node
metastasis, and (iii) progression to clinical disease (tumor size reaching 12mm or larger, or novel appearance of nodal metastasis). The
proportion of patients with1235

Conclusions: Old patients with subclinical low-risk PTMC may be the best candidates for observation. Although PTMC in young patients may

be more progressive than in older patients, it might not be too late to perform surgery after subclinical PTMC has progressed to clinical
disease, regardless of patient age.

Abstract
Several lines of evidence suggest that follicular cell derived thyroid cancers represent a continuum of disease that progresses
F from the highly curable well differentiated thyroid cancers to the universally fatal anaplastic cancers. However, the genetic
mechanisms underling thyroid cancer progression remain ill defined. W compared the molecular – cytogenetic profiles
T derived from comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) analysis of major histological variants of thyroid cancer to define
genetic variables associated with progression. Overall, a sequential increase in chromosomal complexity was observed from
V well differentiated papillary thyroid cancer to poorly differentiated and anaplastic carcinomas, both in terms of the presence
of CGH detectable abnormalities (p=0.003) and the median number of abnormalities per case (p<0.001). The presence of
multiple abnormalities common to all thyroid cancer variants, including gains of 5 p 15, 5 q 11-13, 19 p, and q and loss of 8p,
suggests that these tumors are derived from a common genetic pathway. Gains of 1 p34-36, 6 p 21, 9q34, 17q25, and 20q
losses of 1p11 p 31, 2q32-33, 4q11-13, 6q21 and 13q21-31 may represent secondary evens in progression, as they were only
detected in poorly differentiate4d and anaplastic carcinomas. Finally, recurrent gains at 3p13-14 and 11q13, and loss of 5q11-
31 were unique to anaplastic carcinomas, suggesting they may be markers for anaplastic transformation. Our data suggest that
the development of chromosomal instability underlies the progression to more aggressive phenotypes of thyroid cancer and
sheds light on the possible genomic aberrations that may be selected for during this process.

Extent of Surgery Affects Survival for

MA,† David P. Winchester, MD,†§ Mark S. Talamonti, MD,* and Cord Sturgeon, MD, MS*
F Background: The extent of surgery for papillary thyroid cancers (PTC) remains controversial. Consensus guidelines have

T recommended total thyroidectomy for PTC ≥1 cm; however, no study has supported this recommendation based on a survival
advantage. The objective of this study was to examine whether the extent of surgery affects outcomes for PTC and to
determine whether a size threshold could be identified above which total thyroidectomy is associated with improved
V outcomes.
Methods: From the National Cancer Data Base (1985–1998), 52,173 patients underwent surgery for PTC. Survival was
estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method and compared using log-rank tests. Cox Proportional Hazards modeling stratified by
tumor size was used to assess the impact of surgical extent on outcomes and to identify a tumor size threshold above which
total thyroidectomy is associated with an improvement in recurrence and long-term survival rates.
Results: Of the 52,173 patients, 43,227 (82.9%) underwent total thyroidectomy, and 8946 (17.1%) underwent lobectomy. For
PTC < 1 cm extent of surgery did not impact recurrence or survival (P=0.24, P = 0.83). For tumors ≥1 cm, lobectomy resulted
in higher risk of recurrence and death (P = 0.04, P = 0.009). To minimize the influence of larger tumors, 1 to 2 cm lesions were
examined separately: lobectomy again resulted in a higher risk of recurrence and death (P=0.04, P=0.04).
Conclusions: The results of this study demonstrate that total thyroidectomy results in lower recurrence rates and improved
survival for PTC ≥1.0 cm compared with lobectomy. This is the first study to demonstrate that total thyroidectomy for PTC ≥
1.0 cm improves outcomes.
