Title
Increasing incidence of thyroid cancer in the United States, 1973-2002.
Authors
Davies, Louise; Welch, H Gilbert
Abstract
Increasing cancer incidence is typically interpreted as an increase in the true occurrence of disease but may also reflect changing pathological criteria or increased diagnostic scrutiny. Changes in the diagnostic approach to thyroid nodules may have resulted in an increase in the apparent incidence of thyroid cancer.
