LaBarge B, Walter V, Bann DV, et al. - In view of the reports describing an increasing thyroid cancer mortality rate, researchers sought to study the latest trends in this rate over time and compare findings from different cancer registries. The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) program, including SEER‐9, SEER‐13, and SEER‐18, were employed to obtain thyroid cancer incidence‐based mortality (IBM) rates. For comparison, they obtained the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) thyroid cancer mortality rate. The updated NCHS and SEER IBM data revealed the statistical significance of the increased thyroid cancer death rate noted in previous studies.
