Temporal trends and geographic disparities in thyroid cancer burden: a global analysis from 1990 to 2021.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Over the past 40 years, the global incidence of thyroid cancer has increased steadily. This study aimed to update the evaluation of thyroid cancer prevalence, incidence, mortality, and Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALYs) rates from 1990 to 2021, with a focus on integrating prevalence data. Analyses were stratified by gender, age, and Socio-Demographic Index (SDI) at global, regional, and national levels.

Methods

Data were obtained from the 2021 Global Burden of Disease, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD). The estimated annual percentage change (EAPC) was calculated to quantify temporal trends and evaluate age - standardized rates for prevalence (ASPR), incidence (ASIR), mortality (ASDR), and DALYs.

Results

In 2021, the global thyroid cancer burden wa
