Global patterns and trends in incidence and mortality of thyroid cancer in children and adolescents: a population-based study
There has been a considerable increase in thyroid cancer incidence among adults in several countries in the past three decades. Rapid increases in incidence between 1998–2002 and 2008–12 were observed in almost all countries. Incidence rates were almost always higher in girls than in boys and increased with age in both sexes.
