BACKGROUND: Radiation exposure is a well-known risk factor for well-differentiated @entity259 (WDTC). However, gender disparity in disease characteristics is not completely understood. The purpose of this study was to determine the behavior of radiation-induced @entity259 according to gender. METHODS: Charts of all @entity1 diagnosed with WDTC after radiation exposure between the years 1985 and 2013 in a tertiary referral center were retrieved. RESULTS: Forty-three @entity1 were reviewed, 29 females and 14 males. Mean age of exposure for @entity1 and @entity1 were 17.1    19.5 and 15.5    12.5 years, respectively (P = .78). Age at diagnosis were 47.5    15.5 and 41.5    15 years for @entity1 and @entity1 , respectively (P = .18). Mean disease-specific survival was 44.1 and 43.7 years for @entity1 and @entity1 , respectively (P = .50). CONCLUSIONS: Similar disease characteristics, @entity5 pathology, disease-free survival, and overall survival in both genders. In sporadic well-differentiated @entity259 , female gender is associated with @entity5 behavior and prognosis. However, our results suggest that @entity1 are more affected by radiation than @entity1 and therefore have the same prognosis as @entity1 .
