Key Points Question What were the epidemiologic patterns and variation in the trends of thyroid cancer worldwide from 1990 to 2017? Findings In this cross-sectional study covering data on incidence, deaths, and disability-adjusted life-years and their temporal trends from 195 countries and 21 regions, increasing trends of thyroid cancer burden were observed, with significant differences by sex, region, country, age, and sociodemographic index. Almost half of the thyroid cancer burden was noted in Southern and Eastern Asia, and a third of patients with thyroid cancer resided in countries with a high sociodemographic index. Meaning This study suggests an increasing global burden of thyroid cancer; the geographic disparities may provide support for cancer health care planning and resource allocation.
