Overview
The incidence of follicular thyroid cancer is estimated to be 0.82 per 100 000 person-years. Females are more commonly affected with follicular thyroid cancer than males. The female to male ratio is approximately 3 to 1. The incidence of follicular thyroid cancer increases with age; the median age at diagnosis is 45 to 50 years.
