The incidence of thyroid cancer continues to increase in all races and ethnicities. No significant difference was observed between the increase in incidence for whites and blacks. However, the increase in incidence for non-Hispanics was significantly larger than that for Hispanics. The increase in incidence of thyroid cancer was greater in whites than in Asians/Pacific Islanders, so whites now have a higher incidence of thyroid cancer than persons of Asian/Pacific Islander descent.
