Follicular Thyroid Cancer Incidence Patterns in the United States, 1980–2009

Abstract: The different trends for follicular and papillary types of thyroid cancer illustrate that thyroid cancer is a heterogeneous disease. Our results do not support the hypothesis that increasing thyroid cancer rates are largely due to improvements in detection, and suggest the importance of evaluating thyroid cancer types separately in future studies.

“…There are no uniform epidemiological data with respect to the incidence of FTC. A current study showed an increase in the USA of 30 % between 1980 and 2009 for occurrences of FTC [11]. In all age groups, FTC appeared more frequently among women.…”

“…Thyroid carcinoma is the most common malignancy of the endocrine system showing increasing incidences over the years (1)(2)(3), with age-standardized rates (ASR) of about 6/100,000 in the developed countries. Particularly elevated ASRs were observed in Lithuania (ASR ¼ 15.5/100,000), Italy (ASR ¼ 13.5/100,000), Austria (ASR ¼ 12.4/100,000), and in the United States (ASR ¼ 9.9/100,000; refs.…”

“…Concurrently, equal trends in the increase in incidence rate have been identified all over the world (3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14). The age-standardized incidence rate of thyroid cancer has increased from 1.1/100,000 to 6.1/100,000 for males, and from 3.3/100,000 to 22.2/100,000 for females, from 1970 to 1972 in the USA (1,15). A previous study indicated that the thyroid cancer incidence rate in Canada was the fastest increasing rate in the world, t trends in the incidence rate of thyroid cancer have demonstrated a 6.8% increase for males and 6.9% increase for females per annum between 1998 and 2007 (16)(17)(18).…”
