Abstract
ObjectiveThis study aimed to analyze the incidence trends and spatial distribution characteristics of thyroid cancer among Chinese females from 1990 to 2019, thereby providing a scientific foundation and data support for the development of prevention and control policies. MethodsThyroid cancer incidence data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) research and the annual report from the Chinese Tumor Registration were utilized. The standardized thyroid cancer incidence rate among Chinese females 1990 to 2019 was described to understand the changes in developmental trends. The JoinPoint Regression Model was employed using Excel 2019, GraphPad Prism 8, JoinPoint Regression Program 4.8.0.1, and ArcGIS 10.2. ResultsThyroid cancer's standardized incidence among female Chinese continued to increase at 1.7% per year (annual average percentage change [AAPC] = 1.7, P < 0.001), and the spatial distribution was clustered. The main high-incidence areas were North, East, and Northwest China. ConclusionsThyroid cancer incidence in Chinese women is rapidly increasing, and its spatial distribution is concentrated. Strengthening monitoring, prevention, and control efforts in the relevant areas is warranted.
