Until recently, thyroid cancer was the fastest growing cancer in the United States, mainly due to our ability to detect these cancers so well (Ultrasound, CT scan, MRI, etc.). Thyroid cancer is the 5th most common cancer in women. Since the 1970’s, the incidence of thyroid cancer has doubled. Overall, the 5-year survival rate for people with thyroid cancer is 98%, with long-term survival being 95% or higher.
As with all cancers, screening, early detection, and prevention are crucial. Certainly, decreasing the risk of thyroid cancer and diagnosing the cancer sooner are very beneficial.
Minimize Radiation Exposure
Significant radiation exposure is unquestionably one of the two primary risk factors for thyroid cancer. Large amounts of radiation exposure to the head/neck area or chest, typically from treatment of another cancer increases the risk of thyroid cancer

Do Self-Checks or Get Examined by Your Physician
Self- checks are an important part of cancer screening and prevention. Similar to breast cancer and testicular cancer, self-checks of you neck can help diagnose thyroid cancer. The vast majority of thyroid cancers are very subtle and do not cause symptoms. Additionally, 95% or more of thyroid cancers cannot be diagnosed with a blood test.
