N2 - BACKGROUND: Motivation for the study. There are few clinical and survival studies in Peru on thyroid cancer. BACKGROUND: Main findings. Between the years 2010 to 2020, differentiated thyroid cancer was more frequent in women with early-stage disease, but survival was lower at five years compared to reports from other countries. BACKGROUND: Implications. Thyroid cancer has increased in recent decades worldwide. It is important to have specialized and decentralized centers for the initial management and follow-up of these patients to avoid long-term complications or fatal outcomes and to have updated epidemiological information. BACKGROUND: This study aimed at studying the clinical and anatomopathological characteristics, treatment and survival of patients with differentiated thyroid cancer. A retrospective cohort study was conducted with data from 150 patients from a Peruvian hospital between the years 2010 to 2020. Characteristics and survival (Kaplan-Meier method) were described. The mean age was 48.3 years, 130 participants (86.7%) were women and the most frequent histologic type was papillary 94.6%. Of the participants, 74.2% had TNM stage I, 70.7% had total thyroidectomy and 68.7% received radioactive iodine. Overall survival at 5 years was 89.3%, being lower in those with TNM stage IV and higher in those who used radioactive iodine. In conclusion, in a hospital in Cusco, differentiated thyroid cancer was more frequent in women and survival was lower compared to reports from other countries.
