Does age correlate with increased frequency of high risk factors in elderly patients with thyroid cancer?
The prognostic importance of age in thyroid cancer may be due to the greater prevalence of pathologic risk factors in older patients.
Our results indicate no excess risks of malignancies following an infection by C. jejuni at least during the first decade. Furthermore, the finding of a decreased risk of respiratory cancers could be of interest, if the results are reproduced in future studies in other populations.
