Prognostic value of prior malignancy history in stage I differentiated thyroid cancer: a SEER-based study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Thyroid cancer is the most common endocrine cancer today. Differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) comprises more than 95% of all thyroid cancers. With the increasing incidence of tumors and development of screening, more patients suffer from multiple cancers. The purpose of this study was to explore the prognostic value of a history of prior malignancy for stage I DTC.

Methods

Stage I DTC patients were identified from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. The Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional hazards regression method were used to determine the risk factors for overall survival (OS) and disease-specific survival (DSS). A competing risk model was also used to determine the risk factors for DTC-related death after considering the compet
