Overview
The incidence of papillary thyroid cancer is approximately 16.3/100,000 for women and 5.6/100,000 for men in 2008 in United States. Females are more commonly affected with papillary thyroid cancer than males. The female to male ratio is approximately 3:1.
Epidemiology and Demographics
Incidence
- The incidence of papillary thyroid cancer is approximately 16.3/100,000 for women and 5.6/100,000 for men in 2008 in United States.
- There are 45,000 cases in the United States every year and this type of carcinoma has the fastest increasing incidence of any malignancy in the thyroid.[1]
Age
- Papillary thyroid cancer (as is the case with follicular thyroid cancer) typically occurs in middle-aged individuals, with a peak incidence in the 3rd and 4th decades.
- Most commonly manifests in individuals between the ages of 20 to 55.[2]
