Obstrução de vias lacrimais associada ao tratamento radioiodoterápico de carcinoma de tireoide

“…Consequentemente há um aumento de casos submetidos à RIT nessas regiões e a detecção de complicações relacionadas ao tratamento. No Brasil, estudo de 2011 mostra uma estimativa de in cidência do câncer de tireoide em mulheres de 5,27 por 100.000 habitantes, que é comparável à incidência de alguns países europeus (12) . Espera-se assim aumento da morbidade associada ao tratamento, incluída a obstrução de ducto nasolacrimal.…”

The Distribution and Evolution of Indicators of Hospital Morbidity and Mortality for Thyroid Cancer in Brazil

“…There were many cases with missing information for this variable, 73% (28,456) of cases had no information. With respect to the types of thyroid cancer, we found that 41.8% (16,386) of the cases are follicular, while 51.07% (20,015) are papillary. A small percentage of the cases are medullary (2.34%) and anaplastic (1.39%).…”

“…For both, there was an increase in these rates with age, especially over 30 years. The incidence rates were also higher in women 16 . Another study carried out in Brazil identified lower mortality among young adults, with no gender difference.…”

“…The unit of analysis is the set of cases with respect to space and time 17 . The secondary data used in the research were collected this increase in incidence is the result of the expanded use of diagnostic practices, such as ultrasound and fine needle biopsy and the other is that there is an association with a number of risk factors, including age, gender, ethnicity and geographical location 16 .…”

“…Access to information on the incidence of cancer is essential to define the role of the risk factors and set priorities in prevention, planning, and administration of health services. However, this information is rarely available at national or regional level 16 .…”
