Abstract

Purposes: To assess the clinicopathological characteristics of patients with synchronous and metachronous breast and thyroid cancer at K hospital. Methods: Cross-sectional study on 36 patients diagnosed with synchronous and metachronous breast cancer and thyroid cancer at K hospital from January 2020 to June 2023. Results: The mean age at the time of breast cancer diagnosis was 45.1 ± 8.6, at the time of thyroid cancer diagnosis was 46.0 ± 9.5. Most patients had stage I-II diseases. The main pathological type of breast cancer was invasive carcinoma NST (86.1%). The proportion of patients with hormone receptors positive breast cancer (ER or PR) was 69.4%, the proportion of Her2 positive breast cancer was 30.6%. The main pathological type of thyroid cancer was papillary carcinoma (94.4%). Conclusions: Patients with both breast cancer and thyroid cancer were often diagnosed at a relatively young age and at an early stage. The majority of patients had hormone receptor-positive breast cancer.
