RON, ELAINE, and ARTHUR B. SCHNEIDER, 'Thyroid Cancer', in David Schottenfeld, and Joseph F. Fraumeni (eds), Cancer Epidemiology and Prevention, 3rd edn (New York , 2006; online edn, Oxford Academic, 1 Sept. 2009), https://doi.org/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780195149616.003.0050, accessed 22 Apr. 2025.
Abstract
Cancer of the thyroid is relatively uncommon, although it is the most common malignancy of the endocrine system and is the eighth ranking cancer among women. The prognosis is extremely good for papillary and follicular carcinoma and extremely poor for anaplastic carcinoma. This chapter reviews the epidemiology of thyroid cancer, taking histology into account whenever possible.
Keywords:
thyroid, papillary carcinoma, follicular carcinoma, anaplastic carcinoma, cancer risk, cancer epidemiology, cancer prevention
