Description
Dzana Nuhanovic leads an eight-author count in 2026 of thyroid cancer in Tuzla Canton, Bosnia and Herzegovina, across 2020 to 2024. Thyroid cancer is the commonest hormone-system malignancy, yet local data were scarce. Records of 483 patients reviewed by a university thyroid council yielded 142 confirmed cases living in the canton.
Women made up 76 percent of cases, with a median diagnosis age of 56 years. Papillary cancer dominated at 74 percent, followed by follicular, medullary, and anaplastic types. Average annual incidence reached 6.99 per 100,000 people and rose during the period, still below global and European estimates. Both cancer deaths involved anaplastic disease. A national registry, the authors urge, would sharpen surveillance.
