Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Thyroid cancer, the most common endocrine malignancy, has increased in incidence in recent decades worldwide, both in high-resource and in low- or middle-income countries.
Over-screening, defined as the diagnosis of a condition that would not have caused harm to the individual over their lifetime if left undetected, is the main factor that has contributed significantly to this rising incidence. However, the observation that larger and later-stage thyroid cancers have also increased suggests that other factors may be present, such as individual risk factors (smoke, obesity) and/or increased exposure to environmental risk factors. An accurate evaluation of etiological factors contributing to the increased incidence of thyroid cancer appears extremely important and very timely today and can lead to optimizing the diagnostic and therapeutic management of these patients. In addition, studies investigating several etiological factors may provide the current understanding of thyroid cancer epidemiology.
We are pleased to invite you to the Special Issue titled “Evolving Understanding of the Epidemiology of Thyroid Cancer”. Original research articles and reviews are welcome.
This Special Issue aims to encompass new research articles and timely reviews on all aspects of the epidemiology of thyroid cancer.
