Thyroid Carcinoma Clinicopathological Data and Management Trends from 1999 to 2018

From 1999 to 2018, this dataset describes the clinicopathological landscape of thyroid disease and management trends for thyroid carcinoma from a single institution. It includes data from 34,420 patients for landscape analysis, with 18,917 thyroid cancer patients analyzed for trends and 11,760 T1-stage papillary thyroid carcinoma patients used to build a predictive nomogram for central lymph node metastasis. The dataset was authored by Li'nan Qin and last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing long-term trends in thyroid cancer management based on data from 1999 to 2018.
• Developing predictive models for central lymph node metastasis based on risk factors like tumor diameter and lymphovascular invasion.
• Studying the changing proportions of thyroid cancer subtypes and surgical procedure rates over two decades.

Strengths

• Includes data from 34,420 patients with thyroid disease, providing a substantial sample size for analysis.
• Covers a 20-year time period (1999-2018), enabling longitudinal trend analysis.
• Specific clinical metrics are reported, such as a central lymph node dissection rate increase from 34.4% to 97%.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count for the primary data tables is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data originates from a single institution, which may limit generalizability.
