Abstract

BackgroundThe prevalence of obesity and an increased incidence of thyroid carcinoma (TC) threaten public health in parallel on a global scale. Sufficient evidence supports excess body fatness in thyroid carcinogenesis, and the role and anthropometric markers of obesity have been causally associated with the rising risk of TC.MethodsA literature search was conducted in PubMed. Studies focused on the effect of obesity in TC.ResultsThis review mainly discusses the global incidence and prevalence of obesity‐related TC. We also review the role of obesity in TC and potential clinical strategies for obesity‐related TC.ConclusionsExcess body fatness in early life and TC survival initiate adverse effects later in life.
