Risk of Subsequent Primary Cancer in Thyroid Cancer Survivors: A Nationwide Population-Based Study
Background: Despite obtaining a good prognosis and long life expectancy, survivors of thyroid cancer can nevertheless develop subsequent primary cancer (SPC). We investigated the risk and types of SPC in patients with thyroid cancer and compared them with subjects without thyroid cancer history (con...

description | Background: Despite obtaining a good prognosis and long life expectancy, survivors of thyroid cancer can nevertheless develop subsequent primary cancer (SPC). We investigated the risk and types of SPC in patients with thyroid cancer and compared them with subjects without thyroid cancer history (controls). Methods: We conducted a nationwide, population-based, retrospective cohort study based on the Korean National Health Insurance Database. A total of 432,654 patients diagnosed with thyroid cancer between 2004 and 2019 were 1:1 matched with controls for age, sex, income, and region of residence. The hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) of SPC were estimated using Cox proportional hazard models. Results: In total, 78,584 (18.2%) patients with thyroid cancer and 49,979 (11.6%) controls were diagnosed with SPCs over a mean follow-up of 6.9 years. Patients with thyroid cancer had a higher risk of SPC at any site (adjusted HR, 1.62; 95% CI, 1.60–1.64) than the controls. The risk of SPCs was particularly high for patients diagnosed with thyroid cancer at a younger age (<40 years) and within 5 years. Conclusions: Medical caregivers should consider the long-term follow-up of patients with thyroid cancer and discuss the risk of SPC, especially if they complain of cancer-related symptoms. |
