Context: Thyroid cancer predominately affects women, carries a worse prognosis in older
age, and may have higher mortality in men. Superimposed on these observations is the fact …

Purpose Patient age is considered to play a unique prognostic role in papillary thyroid
cancer (PTC), with a distinct staging dichotomization at 45 years of age. This is based on …

Background Age is an important prognostic factor in papillary thyroid cancer (PTC), with
better survival observed in patients< 45 years of age, regardless of stage. Although the …

Background: Thyroid cancer incidence rates have increased worldwide for decades,
although more for papillary carcinomas than other types and more for females than males …

Well-differentiated thyroid carcinoma (WDTC) represents a group of thyroid cancers with
excellent prognosis. Age, a well-recognized risk factor for WDTC, has been consistently …

The prognostic significance of gender remains controversial for papillary thyroid carcinoma
(PTC). In this study, we investigated the associations between gender and prognosis in a …

Background: Well-differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) presents at a more advanced stage in
men than in women, and the mortality in men is higher than that in women. However, it is not …

Background: In most staging systems, 45 years of age is used to differentiate low risk thyroid
cancer from high risk thyroid cancer. However, recent studies have questioned both the …

Background: Little is known about annual hazard rates of cancer mortality and recurrence for
papillary thyroid cancer (PTC). This study investigated the time-varying pattern of cancer …

Background: Age at diagnosis is incorporated into all relevant staging systems for
differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC). There is growing evidence that a specific age cutoff …
