Long term declines of thyroid cancer mortality: an international age-period-cohort analysis.

CONCLUSIONS: Global long-term declines in TC mortality have been accompanied by downward trends in both period and cohort effects. Our results suggest lack of evidence of a possible major contribution of "real" risk factors in TC mortality, and indirectly confirm the main role of overdiagnosis in the epidemic of TC incidence.
