Thyroid cancer rates have been increasing worldwide due to various factors including enhanced detection methods, altered diagnostic standards, and environmental influences. Lifestyle modifications, such as dietary shifts and radiation exposure, also contribute to this trend. The American Cancer Society's 2024 estimates suggest around 44,020 new instances of thyroid cancer in the U.S., with approximately 12,500 occurring in men and 31,520 in women. Predictions also indicate roughly 2,170 fatalities due to thyroid cancer, with about 990 in men and 1,180 in women.
 

Further, thyroid cancer tends to be diagnosed at a younger age compared to other adult cancers, with the average age of diagnosis being 51 years old. With the rising number of cases, there's a growing need for improved diagnostic tools to facilitate early detection and effective treatment planning.
 

Furthermore, public health initiatives and awareness campaigns for thyroid cancer screening are pivotal in boosting early detection rates. They target high-risk populations such as those with a family history of thyroid cancer or radiation exposure. By advocating regular thyroid examinations and raising awareness about symptoms, these efforts facilitate early diagnosis, improving treatment outcomes and driving demand for diagnostic tests and services.
