Hyperthyroidism with thyroid cancer: more common than expected?

DISCUSSION: Prevalence of cancer on a background of hyperthyroidism has gradually increased in recent years. It is not realistic to determine thyroid cancer prevalence only based on autopsy examinations. This rate significantly increases in the presence of nodule in clinical studies. Most of the carcinomas are microcarcinomas that do not have lymphovascular invasion and have very low lymph node metastasis. Thus, their treatment is still under debate.
