Abstract
PURPOSE: This study aimed to explore the prognostic value of thyroid invasion of parathyroid carcinoma without lymph node or distant metastasis. METHODS: Two hundred and nine cases of parathyroid carcinoma from the SEER (1989-2014) were eligible for this study. A Chi-squared test, t test, X-tile, Kaplan-Meier curves, and multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression were used for analysis. RESULTS: Thyroid invasion, sex, race, age, radiation, and surgery were not significantly associated with cancer-specific survival by multivariate analysis. However, tumor size ≥ 4 cm was significantly associated with worse cancer-specific survival (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Thyroid invasion, which was the criterion for T1 and T2 staging criteria of parathyroid carcinoma according to the AJCC, did not affect the prognosis of patients with parathyroid carcinoma without local lymph node or distant metastasis. Our study indicates that a tumor size ≥ 4 cm may be an appropriate indicator of T1 and T2 cancer staging.
