Abstract

Background/Aim: Surgery is the cornerstone of treatment for papillary thyroid cancer (PTC), yet some patients refuse surgery, which may impact their survival outcomes. Understanding factors associated with surgery refusal could inform interventions to improve acceptance of recommended care. Patients and Methods: This retrospective cohort study evaluated the impact of surgery refusal on overall survival (OS) and identified associated demographic and clinical factors using data on patients with PTC from the National Cancer Database from 2004 to 2019. OS was analyzed using the Kaplan–Meier method, with survival curves compared using the log-rank test. Patient characteristics were analyzed using Pearson Chi-square tests or Wilcoxon Rank Sum tests.
