Evolving epidemiological patterns of thyroid cancer and estimates of overdiagnosis in 2013–17 in 63 countries worldwide: a population-based study

The incidence of thyroid cancer has been increasing in many countries, mainly due to overdiagnosis. Given these rapid changes, we aim to assess the specific features of the thyroid cancer diagnosis epidemic and provide estimates of overdiagnosis across countries spanning five continents and identify areas in which coping strategies are needed.
