Abstract

Recently as the ultrasonography became generalized, the annual change rate of the incidence of thyroid cancer extraordinarily grew to 24.5% in Korea. Therefore, the aim of this study was performed to identify the risk factors of thyroid cancer apart from conventional risk factors of dietary iodine and ionizing radiation. In this retrospective study, 411 patients underwent fine-needle aspiration biopsy were examined from January 2011 to March 2013. The subjects are divided into two groups which are 260 patients with benign nodule and 151 patients with malignancy nodule. We compared age, hematologic values, body mass index, waist circumference, menopausal status, breast nodules status, uterine myoma status, fatty liver status of targeted group of patients. According to the result, in thyroid cancer group with obesity, the number of case of breast nodules and myoma was higher, and their thyroid stimulating hormone values was higher than the benign nodule group. In order to establish factors influencing thyroid and thyroid cancer, there is a definite need for continuous study.

최근 초음파검사의 접근이 일반화되면서 한국에서는 갑상선암발생율의 연간변화율이 24.5%로 상승하였다. 이에 고식적 갑상선암의 위험요인인 전리방사선과 요오드식이 이외의 갑상선암의 위험요인을 파악하고자 하였다. 2011년 1월부터 2013년 3월까지 종합검진센타에서 초음파검사 후 미세침흡인검사로 진단된 양성결절 260명과 악성 결절 151명의 여자를 대상으로 나이, 혈액학적 수치, 비만지수, 허리둘레, 폐경여부, 유방결절 유무, 자근근종 유무, 지방간 유무를 비교하였다. 연구 결과 갑상선암 그룹에서 비만인 경우, 유방의 결절과 자궁근종이 있는 경우가 많았으며 갑상선자극호르몬 수치가 양성결절그룹보다 높게 나타났다. 향후 갑상선 및 갑상선암에 영향을 끼치는 요인들을 정립시키기 위한 연구가 지속적으로 필요할 것이다.
