Abstract:
Objective To observe the correlation between the prevalence thyroid nodules and breast tumors in female subjects. Methods Perform thyroid and breast examination at the same time by utilizing color doppler ultrasound on 855 female subjects from the electric power enterprise of Huaihua city in Hunan province in July 2014. Results Thy-roid nodules were found in 240 subjects (28.1%) and breast tumors in 94 subjects (11.1%), while 34 subjects (4.0%) were found to have both thyroid nodules and breast tumors simultaneously. Our present data showed that thyroid nodule prevalence rate increased with age, while the highest prevalence rate of breast tumor was in the 40y's group (16.7%). There was a positive correlation between the prevalence rate of breast tumor and that of thyroid nodule in subject less than 50 years old (χ2=7.007,P=0.008,OR=2.196). Conclusion Thyroid nodule prevalence rate increased with age, and female subjects less than 50 years old with thyroid nodule have an increased risk of developing breast tumors.
