title: [Mortality of patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma in Norway. The influence of sex, age, tumor stage, histologic type and residence at the time of diagnosis].
abstract: A multivariate analysis of relative survival and prognostic factors in differentiated thyroid cancer, based on all 2,625 cases reported to the Cancer Registry of Norway 1970-85, showed that age and tumour stage had a strong and individual impact on survival, while sex and histology had only a minor influence. The incidence of thyroid cancer has previously been shown to differ between different geographical locations and types of community in Norway, being highest in Northern Norway and in fishing communities, compared with southern parts and agricultural and industrial communities. These residence-related features had no influence on survival, implying that prognosis may depend on other factors than place of residence.
