As in many countries, cancer registries cover only part of the population in France. Incidence/mortality ratio observed in registries is usually extrapolated to produce national estimates of cancer incidence. District-level estimates are not currently available. For cancer sites such as thyroid, the incidence/mortality ratio widely varies between districts, and alternative indicators must be explored. This study aims to produce national and district-level estimations of thyroid cancer incidence in France, using the ratio between incidence and hospital-based incidence.
