Thyroid Cancer on Rise in Canada

brought to you by Mary Shomon

June 2004 -- Thyroid cancer is the fastest-growing cancer among young Canadian adults, especially women, and has one of the highest rates of recurrence, according to University of Calgary expert. Researchers, however, can't pinpoint what is behind the spread of the disease. Dr. Greg Kline, an endocrinologist and assistant professor at the University of Calgary's faculty of medicine, believes that physicians may be better at diagnosis, but there are also other unknown factors driving the 6.6-per-cent increase in cases of thyroid cancer for women and a 4.2-per-cent increase in cases for men in recent years.
