阿拉伯裔美国 (ArA) 女性患甲状腺癌 (TC) 的风险可能比白人女性更高。本病例比较探讨了底特律大都市 ArA 和非西班牙裔白人 (NHW) 女性 TC 病例中已知和拟议的 TC 危险因素的差异。从基于人群的登记中发现的侵入性 TC 病例对有关潜在 TC 风险因素的电话调查做出了回应。 30 名 ArA 女性（回应率为 52%）和 70 名 NHW 女性（67%）参与了研究。 NHW 女性报告的既往甲状腺疾病 (TD)、TD 家族史、激素使用情况、累积激素使用年限、吸烟和饮酒情况明显更多。在调整后的逻辑回归分析中，ArA 女性暴露于牙科 X 光（OR = 3.48，CI 1.01-12.00）和医疗辐射（OR = 13.58，CI 1.49-124.04）的几率显着高于 NHW 女性。 ArA 女性和 NHW 女性之间的 TC 危险因素可能不同。
Arab American (ArA) women may be at greater risk for thyroid cancer (TC) than White women. This case-case comparison explored differences in known and proposed risk factors of TC among ArA and non-Hispanic White (NHW) female TC cases in metropolitan Detroit. Cases of invasive TC identified from a population-based registry responded to a telephone survey regarding potential TC risk factors. Thirty ArA women (response rate 52%) and 70 NHW women (67%) participated. NHW women reported significantly more prior thyroid disease (TD), family history of TD, hormone use, cumulative years of hormone use, cigarette and alcohol consumption. In adjusted logistic regression analysis, ArA women had significantly higher odds of exposure to dental x-rays (OR = 3.48, CI 1.01-12.00) and medical radiation (OR = 13.58, CI 1.49-124.04) than NHW women. Risk factors for TC may differ among ArA women and their NHW counterparts.
