儿童及青少年分化型甲状腺癌的临床特征及131Ⅰ治疗分析

目的 探讨儿童及青少年分化型甲状腺癌(DTC)的特征及评价131Ⅰ治疗的疗效及安全性.方法 共38例儿童及青少年DTC患者,平均年龄16.4岁,男10例,女28例,男女比例为1:2.8;其中37例为乳头状癌,1例为滤泡状癌.所有患者均伴有淋巴结转移,其中单纯淋巴结转移21例,合并肺转移15例,同时合并脑转移和骨转移2例.23例行双侧甲状腺全切除,7例行甲状腺次全切除,5例行单叶甲状腺切除,2例行部分甲状腺切除,1例行单纯肿瘤切除.所有患者术后均接受131Ⅰ治疗,并进行随访.结果 131Ⅰ治疗后随访1～17年,无瘤生存14例,病情明显缓解16例,病情稳定8例.所有患者未出现新的转移及继发肿瘤.结论 儿童及青少年DTC易转移及复发,术后行131Ⅰ治疗安全有效,可明显改善患者生存质量.

Analysis on the childhood and adolescent differentiated thyroid cancer: clinical features and radioio-dine treatment

Objective Children with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) frequently present with more extensive disease than adults. The aim of this study was to characterize the clinical features of child-hood and adolescent DTC and evaluate the outcome and safety of radioiodine treatment. Methods The re-cords of 38 childhood and adolescent DTC cases, with 28 females and 10 males (mean age: 16.4 years) were reviewed. At diagnosis, all had metastatic lesions with 38 at regional lymph nodes, 15 at lung, 2 at brain and bone. Twenty-three had a total thyroidectomy, 7 had subtotal thyroidectomy, 5 had lobectomy, and 3 had other treatment. All received post-operative radioiodine therapy. All had follow-up for at least one year. Results At the time of follow-up, all were survive (with a median follow-up of 5.13 years). Four-teen patients had no evidence of disease, 16 had partial remission, and 8 were stable disease. Conclusions DTC of the thyroid in childhood and adolescent has high risks of residual/recurrence and metastasis. Post-thyroidectomy oral administration of radioiodine was an effective and safety adjuvant therapy for outcomes.
