We cannot ignore the real component of the rise in thyroid cancer incidence
A partir des données de 39 registres américains des cancers, cette étude analyse, sur la période 1998-2013, l'évolution de l'incidence du cancer de la thyroïde chez les enfants et adolescents âgés de moins de 20 ans (7 296 cas)
Although overdiagnosis certainly occurs, this does not absolve clinicians of the duty to seek the cause of the real rise in thyroid cancer. In this light, factors that may be causing a true increase in thyroid cancer must be examined closely, and which thyroid cancers will behave in an indolent fashion versus an aggressive fashion must be differentiated.
