Abstract

Thyroid cancer is one of the most frequent neoplasias at endocrine level and in the female population, and the clinical, epidemiological, histological, and therapeutic characteristics are considered for the correct treatment and subsequent remission of this pathology. Objective: To characterize the remission of thyroid cancer in patients treated at the Instituto Oncológico Nacional Dr. Juan Tanca Marengo of Guayaquil during the period January to December 2023. Methodology: An observational, retrospective, crosssectional study was performed following the review of medical records, laboratory procedures and other complementary tests with a diagnosis of thyroid cancer at the Instituto Oncológico Nacional Dr. Juan Tanca Marengo de Guayaquil during the period January to December 2023.Results: CDT remission was obtained in 101 patients, especially in female patients (82.44%) among the age group between 45 and 59 years (39.69%), highlighting neck nodules (83.97%), mainly of papillary type (398 cases), as the most common clinical features. Conclusion: Thyroid cancer remission is frequent in women aged 45 to 59 years, especially in patients undergoing dual therapy. Nodules in the neck, of papillary histological type, are the most common clinical features. Excellent biochemistry and a negative imaging test are essential to achieve remission in these patients.
