Objective:To investigate the prognostic factors and pathological characteristics of mixed subtype thyroid cancer (MSTC) .Methods:Data of 41 cases of MSTC, which were confirmed by postoperative pathology, among from 24, 912 cases of thyroid cancer admitted in Mar. 2005 to Aug. 2020 in the First Medical Center of Chinese People’s Liberation Army General Hospital, were retrospectively analyzed. 37 cases underwent surgical treatment, while 4 cases only underwent puncture to confirm the pathology due to physical conditions, and no surgical treatment was performed. The tumor size, number of lesions, capsule invasion, AJCC 8th TNM staging, surgical methods, radiotherapy and chemotherapy were collected. The MSTC patients in the group were followed up to obtain the postoperative situation. SPSS 25.0 and R studio statistical software was used for data processing, and Cox single factor and multivariate regression were used to analyze independent risk factors.Results:In the 41 cases, there were 9 cases of papillary carcinoma (PTC) mixed with follicular carcinoma (FTC) , and 8 cases of mixed medullary and follicular carcinoma (MMFTC) . There were 15 cases of poorly differentiated thyroid cancer (PDTC) , 4 cases of squamous cell carcinoma of thyroid (SCCT) , and 5 cases of undifferentiated thyroid carcinoma (ATC) . The median follow-up time was 18 months, and 11 patients died during the follow-up, with a mortality rate of 26.8%. Average onset age was (51.41+15.69) years. 4 cases had postoperative recurrence during the follow-up, including 2 cases of local recurrence, and 2 cases of distant metastasis. Single factor results showed that age, degree of tumor differentiation, surgical method, radiotherapy and chemotherapy were the risk factors affecting the prognosis of patients with MSTC ( P<0.05) . Multivariate analysis showed that age at diagnosis ( P=0.007) and surgical procedure ( P=0.017) were independent risk factors for prognosis in patients with MSTC. Conclusion:Middle-aged and elderly women are at high risk for MSTC, and the degree of tumor differentiation is proportional to survival. Due to the multi-type and pleomorphic pathological findings, a reasonable treatment plan has good effects on prognosis of MSTC.
