Abstract
Thyroid cancer is not a common
malignancy among children andadolescents. An identified thyroid tumor in a young person is more likely to be malignant than when a similar finding occurs in an elderly patient. However, if detected early and actively treated, thyroid cancer in these young patients still gives a positive result. Aims: To comment on a number of clinical and subclinical features in young patients with thyroid cancer (CI) at Bach Mai Hospital. Methods: retrospective study, cross-sectional description of 63 patients with breast cancer at at the Ear, Nose and Throat Department; Nuclear Medicine and Oncology Center, Bach Mai Hospital from August 2019 to 08/2020. Results: The ratio of female/male = 6.8/1. The average age is 25.0 years old. The most common reason for hospital admission is a neck tumor 65.8%. Clinical examination showed that the proportion of thyroid tumor accounted for 71.4%. The rate of 1 tumor was highest at 86.7% and most common in the right lobe 57,8%. The rate of tumors> 1-2cm is the highest at 44.5%. 90.5% are papillary thyroid carcinomas. The BRAF V600E gene mutation was 62.5%. Stage I accounted for 98.4%, discovered 1 patient with distant metastasis (in the liver). Conclusions: In young patients, PTC progresses silently, often without presenting typical and insensitive symptoms. At the time of detection, it is usually in an early stage.
