Abstract: The incidence of thyroid carcinoma is associated with a variety of factors. Radiation is the clear risk factor, the relationship between iodine intake and thyroid carcinoma remains controversial. Researches show that the genetic and epigenetic changes of many signaling pathways are the key of molecular pathogenetic mechanism of thyroid carcinoma. In addition, thyroid stimulating hormone, body mass index and chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis are also associated with thyroid carcinoma.

Key words: Thyroid neoplasms, Incidence, Risk factors
