Abstract
The purpose of this study was to know the Prevalence of Thyroid Carcinoma in Patients Undergoing Thyroid Surgery. A prospective study was carried out between 2019 and 2023, focusing on surgical operations performed by a surgeon and their trainees. The research encompassed a cohort of 362 individuals who were referred for surgical intervention to address various thyroid pathologies. A total of 31 patients were excluded from the study on account of being diagnosed with malignancy (MNG) through fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) or having a history of surgery. Subsequent to the surgical procedure, the residual cohort of 331 individuals underwent a thorough assessment to determine the existence of neoplastic growth via pathological examination. The prevalence of thyroid disorders was observed to be 85.2% in females and 14.8% in males. Furthermore, thyroid cancer was found to exhibit a higher incidence rate in females as compared to males, mainly at age group 29-39 years. The current results showed that multiple thyroid nodule was most prevalent than other types which is also showed in female than male. In conclusion, the prevalence of thyroid disorders was most prevalent in female than male at age group 29-39 years and the MNG were most prevalent than another types
