Dynamics of incidence with malignant neoplasms in the thyroid gland among Chelyabinsk region population over 1998-2016: clynic and epidemiological characteristics

The paper dwells on assessing dynamics of incidence with malignant neoplasms (MN) in the thyroid gland among Chelyabinsk region population over 1998-2016. Dynamics is taken in different age groups; incidence with different malignant neoplasms is characterized among men and women. The authors took data from major medical and diagnostic institutions in Chelyabinsk region where information about patients suffering from malignant neoplasms in the thyroid gland could be accumulated. We detected 4,467 people with the primary diagnose confirmed with histological (93.2 %) and cytological (6.8 %) research. We detected that primary incidence with malignant neoplasms in the thyroid gland tended to grow in Chelyabinsk region and it completely corresponded to the dynamics in the Russian Federation as a whole.
