Abstract:In some areas of Spain, toxic nodular goitre continues to be the most frequent cause of thyrotoxicosis. It is necessary to insist on implementation and monitoring of iodine supplementation programs.
Background: Thyroid cancer is a tumor with a low but growing incidence in Spain. This study sought to depict its spatial municipal mortality pattern, using the classic model proposed by Besag, York and Mollié.
