Female Thyroid Cancer Incidence in Georgia by Regions and Municipalities in 2015-2019

Abstract

In 2015-2019, 3960 new cases of thyroid cancer were registered in the female population, with an incidence of 40.8 per 100,000 women. Thyroid cancer ranks 2nd place in the structure of cancer in the female population and it has been appreciably increasing over the last 5 years. Based on thyroid cancer incidence rates in Georgia and their regions, higher morbidity rates were registered in Tbilisi (ASR=52.4 AAR=64.1) and 7 municipalities (ASR: Kutaisi-36.7, Mestia-40.3, Senaki-37.1, Khobi-35.1, Rustavi-46.6, Khashuri-34.5; and AAR: Kutaisi-44.7, Mestia-56.5, Senaki-43.3, Khobi-41.7, Rustavi-55.2, Oni-53.3) than in Georgia ASR=34.4 and AAR=41.0. Cumulative risk rates also high compared to Georgia (CR0-64= 2.7; CR0-74=3.1) in some municipalities: Tbilisi (CR0-64= 4.1; CR 0-744.8),Kutaisi (CR0- 64= 3.1; CR0-74=3.4), Sachkhere (CR0-64= 3.0; CR0-74=3.2), Tianeti (CR0-64= 2.9; CR0-74=2.9), Ambrolauri (CR0-64= 3.0; CR0-74=3.0), Oni (CR0- 64= 1.84; CR0-74=4.19), Zugdidi (CR0-64= 2.6; CR0-74=3.1), Mestia (CR0-64= 4.1; CR0-74=4.5), Senaki (CR0-64= 2.8; CR0-74=3.6), Khobi (CR 0-64= 2.7; CR0-74=3.1), Rustavi (CR0-64= 3.8; CR0-74=4.1),Khashuri (CR0-64= 2.8; CR0-74 =3.1); In order to study the characteristics of geographical prevalence of thyroid cancer , it is necessary to research of the histomorphological type and staging relationships in municipalities with high rates
