Iodine Status and Characteristics of Papillary Thyroid Cancer

October 3, 2024 updated by: Hai-qing Zhang, Shandong Provincial Hospital

A Cross-sectional Study on Iodine Status and Characteristics of Papillary Thyroid Cancer

The effect of iodine on papillary thyroid cancer has been controversial for many years. The investigators designed a cross-sectional study and aimed to explore the relationship between the serum and urine iodine levels and the clinical and molecular characteristics of papillary thyroid cancer.

  • Age range: 18~65 years old, gender not limited;
  • Living in the residential area for at least 5 years;
  • Patients diagnosed clinically with thyroid cancer and scheduled for thyroid surgery, with pathological diagnosis of papillary thyroid cancer;
  • Complete clinical data: including general information, relevant laboratory tests, pathological reports, surgical reports, ultrasound reports, etc.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
Excessive iodine group
Residents with papillary thyroid cancer who have lived in excessive iodine areas for a long time (5 years or more). According to the report of Shandong linstitute of Endemic Disease Prevention and Control, three sub centers were selected in excessive iodine group(Jining/Liaocheng/Heze).
Iodine excess areas: water iodine ≥100μg/L; or urinary iodine concentration(median urinary iodine levels in children aged 8-10 years old) ≥300μg/L
Suitable iodine group
Residents with papillary thyroid cancer who have lived in suitable iodine areas for a long time (5 years or more). According to the report of Shandong linstitute of Endemic Disease Prevention and Control, three sub centers were selected in suitable iodine group(Jinan/Shenyang/Haerbin).
Iodine suitable areas: water iodine ≥40μg/L and ≤100μg/L; or urinary iodine concentration(median urinary iodine levels in children aged 8-10 years old) 100-199μg/L.
