What's new? As the incidence of thyroid cancer has increased, questions have arisen regarding possible associations with increasing incidence of overweight and obesity. Here, the authors projected the future burden of thyroid cancer in Australia with regard to incidence of overweight and obesity. Analyses show that current levels of overweight and obesity in Australia explain about 19% of future thyroid cancers, with 14% of cancers attributed to obesity alone. Moreover, if currently obese individuals were instead overweight, nearly 10% of thyroid cancers could be avoided. The findings suggest that many thyroid cancers could be prevented through improved weight management.
