Abstract:
The incidence of thyroid cancer is rising rapidly and has now become the third most common cancer among women in China. The increase may partly result from overscreening. However, the significant rise in global mortality and increased rate of larger tumors can not be explained by overdiagnosis of microcarcinoma alone. In this review, we discuss the influence of modifiable factors, environmental exposures, on the incidence rises of throid cancer. And it caused thyroid cancer patients may be exactly those with non-overdiagnosed, larger or fatal cases. In the era of precision medicine, epidemiological investigations and environmental factor studies should be conducted to identify these populations with an increased risk of high-grade thyroid cancer.
