AB Thyroid  cancer  is  the  most  common  endocrine  malignancy  with  an  estimated  60,220  cases  to  be  diagnosed  in  the  United  States  in  2013  (1).  In  the  United  States,  the  incidence  of  thyroid  cancers  has  risen  steadily  from  the  1970s  to  the  present,  with  the  increasing  incidence  in  part  due  to  the  incidental  detection  of  small  tumors.  There  are  also  data  indicating  that  the  incidence  of  larger  tumors  is  on  the  rise,  suggesting  that  additional  factors,  such  as  environmental  exposures,  are  leading  to  a  true  rise  in  incidence.  Thyroid  cancer  is  three  times  more  prevalent  in  women  than  men,  whereas  higher  mortality  is  seen  in  men.
