Analysis of clinicopathological features of papillary thyroid carcinoma in solid organ transplant recipients: a retrospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

With the advances in organ transplantation technology and the increased number of organ recipients, more organ transplant recipients are living longer. However, many newly-onset thyroid cancer cases have been found among this population. The question remains in the uncertainty in whether the post-transplant thyroid cancer is more pathologically aggressive than the thyroid cancer in non-organ-transplant recipients. We compared the clinicopathological features of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) between solid organ transplant recipients (SOTR) and the general population, in an attempt to improve the detection rate of post-transplant PTC in SOTR and overall survival prognosis of those patients.

Methods

The clinical data of 408 PTC patients in the First Affiliated Ho
