BACKGROUND
Cancer diagnosis is increasing around the world and in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). The proportion of thyroid cancer has increased over the past three decades. There are very few studies on cancer epidemiology, and in particular on thyroid cancer in the DRC.
AIM
To establish the most recent proportion of thyroid cancer in the DRC compared to other cancers.
METHODS
This is a retrospective and descriptive study of 6106 consecutive cancer cases listed in the pathological registers of 4 Laboratories in the city of Kinshasa. This study included all cancer cases recorded in the registers between 2005 and 2019.
RESULTS
From a sample of 6106 patients, including all cancer types, 68.3% cases were female and 31.7% were male. Breast and cervical cancer were the most common types of cancer in women and, prostate and skin cancer were the most common types in men. Thyroid cancer was sixth in proportion in women and eleventh in men compared to all cancers. Papillary carcinoma was the most common of thyroid cancers. Rare cancers such as anaplastic and medullary thyroid carcinomas had a proportion of 7% and 2%, respectively.
CONCLUSION
Newer diagnostic tools led to a surge in cancer diagnoses in the DRC. Thyroid cancer has more than doubled its proportion over the last several decades in the country.
背景
全球以及刚果民主共和国（DRC）的癌症诊断数量都在增加。在过去三十年中，甲状腺癌的比例有所上升。关于癌症流行病学，尤其是刚果民主共和国甲状腺癌的研究非常少。
目的
确定刚果民主共和国甲状腺癌相对于其他癌症的最新比例。
方法
这是一项对金沙萨市4家实验室病理登记册中连续记录的6106例癌症病例进行的回顾性描述性研究。该研究纳入了2005年至2019年登记册中记录的所有癌症病例。
结果
在6106例患者样本中，涵盖所有癌症类型，68.3%为女性，31.7%为男性。乳腺癌和宫颈癌是女性中最常见的癌症类型，前列腺癌和皮肤癌是男性中最常见的癌症类型。与所有癌症相比，甲状腺癌在女性中占比第六，在男性中占比第十一。乳头状癌是最常见的甲状腺癌类型。间变性和髓样甲状腺癌等罕见癌症的比例分别为7%和2%。
结论
更新的诊断工具导致刚果民主共和国癌症诊断数量激增。在该国，甲状腺癌的比例在过去几十年中增加了一倍多。
