甲状腺癌包括具有可变病变的广谱疾病。虽然大多数患有这种疾病的患者有很好的总体生存率，但也有一些人的情况并不那么好。随着全球发病率的增加，确定哪些肿瘤对患者构成最大风险的需求比以往任何时候都更加迫切。本文将讨论这种发病率上升的趋势，并分析其可能的原因。此外，本文还将探讨预示个体患者预后不良的因素。最后，将讨论目前分期系统的局限性，特别强调为什么它们在甲状腺癌患者的管理中没有提供信息。(C)2010年皇家放射科医师学院。由爱思唯尔有限公司出版。保留所有权利。
Thyroid cancer comprises a broad spectrum of diseases with variable prognoses. Although most patients with this disease have excellent overall survival, there are some who do not fare so well. With the worldwide increase in incidence, the need to identify which tumours pose the greatest risk to patients is more acute than ever. This paper will discuss this rising trend in incidence with an analysis of the possible reasons for the increase. In addition, the paper will explore the factors that portend a worse prognosis for the individual patient. Finally, the limitations of the current staging systems will be discussed, with particular emphasis on why they are not as informative in the management of patients with thyroid cancer.
