To prevent and control the cancers in Iran, the Iranian Department of Health has released the cancer rates data of the country. As the report has suggested, the incidence rate of thyroid cancer would be the most rapidly increasing among all the cancers. The study has aimed to carry out a qualitative assessment of thyroid cancer in Iran, during the 2004 to 2009, in a cross-sectional setting.
The incidence rates, the trend of individual provinces, the mean age at which the disease occurred, the correlation between incidence rate and median urinary iodine concentration were the parameters evaluated in our study.
The average annual incidence rate during these six years was 2.17 per 100000. Chaharmahal-o-bakhtiari, had the highest incidence rate, but the East Azerbaijan provinces had the lowest incidence rates respectively. The age of diagnosis was the lowest in Ardebil but the highest in West Azerbaijan. In our study, we have found the positive correlation between thyroid cancer incidences with low urinary iodine concentration among all provinces (p-value=0.025).
Presently, the only recognized measure procedure for reducing thyroid cancer risk would be perhaps the correction of median urinary iodine concentration. Further researches have seemed to be required for investigation the other factors, in order to introduce preventive measures in Iran.
为预防和控制伊朗的癌症，伊朗卫生部公布了该国的癌症发病率数据。正如报告所示，甲状腺癌的发病率在所有癌症中增长最为迅速。本研究旨在对2004年至2009年期间伊朗甲状腺癌进行横断面定性评估。
本研究评估的参数包括发病率、各省趋势、发病的平均年龄以及发病率与尿碘中位数浓度之间的相关性。
这六年的年均发病率为每10万人2.17例。恰哈马哈勒-巴赫蒂亚里省发病率最高，而东阿塞拜疆省发病率最低。阿尔达比勒的诊断年龄最低，而西阿塞拜疆的诊断年龄最高。在我们的研究中，我们发现所有省份甲状腺癌发病率与低尿碘浓度之间存在正相关（p值=0.025）。
目前，降低甲状腺癌风险的唯一公认措施可能是纠正尿碘中位数浓度。为了在伊朗引入预防措施，似乎还需要进一步研究其他因素。
