Description
Summary:	[6] While there appears to be a distinctive association between population iodine intake and benign thyroid disease, the relationship with malignant thyroid disease is less certain. [11] In the SEER database from the US (a nonendemic goiter area), there appears to be an overall increase in the incidence rates of ATC from 1973 to 2014 (average annual percentage change: 3.0% [95% confidence interval (CI): 2.2%–3.7%]) despite overall low incidence rates. [13] Similarities and differences between the Indian data and a large multi-institutional database warrant comparison (observing caveats inherent because of differences in data collection and presentation) [Table 1].
