The Rise in Thyroid Cancer Incidence
Did we do something wrong
First of all, please rest assured that the current high-risk factors causing thyroid cancer have not increased. The significant increase in diagnosed cases is largely related to these two reasons:
1. Widespread Thyroid Cancer Examinations
In the past, thyroid examinations were not part of routine health check-ups, and many people had never undergone relevant checks. Now, with the widespread availability of thyroid examinations (ultrasound, thyroid function tests, etc.), the number of people diagnosed has increased, contributing to the overall data increase.
