Abstract
In the last 20 years, we are seeing a dramatic increasing of incidence of thyroid cancer, especially papillary variant. It is controversial whether the real increase is due to the improvement of detection, screening and overdiagnosis or a real increase is possible, as recent observations suggest.
Several risk factors are suspects to be responsible of the etiology.
Some environmental risk factors are strongly correlated with thyroid cancer as radiation exposure and iodine status. Others as diabetes and obesity, estrogen and lifestyle factors have been suggested as possible element of risk.
This review is analysing the possible environmental risk correlate with the increasing thyroid cancer incidence.
