[Occurrence of papillary and follicular thyroid cancer among Silesian women].
In the years 1990-2000 within Silesia District 1067 thyroid cancer cases were diagnosed. From the total, papillary carcinoma established 59.9% (639 cases), and follicular carcinoma--26.0% (276 cases). An existence of some distinct endemic areas--for both papillary and follicular thyroid cancers simultaneously was confirmed. The etiologic background is unclear, but the significant impact of environmental iodine supply seems unprobable.
