- ABSTRACT
Introduction: Thyroid gland malignancy is the fifth most common endocrine malignancy in women, which is classified into differentiated and undifferentiated carcinoma. Risk factors of thyroid gland malignancy consist of individual, family history and exposure to irradiation. Purpose: to discuss risk factors of thyroid gland malignancy. Literature Review: Genetic risk factors are the most strongly associated with malignancy, but the mechanisms are still unknown. External risk factors include exposure to ionizing radiation with a total dose of 20 Gy, under- or over-consumption of iodine, diabetes, women, exogenous estrogen exposure, smoking, alcohol, and excess body weight. Processing of red meat at high temperatures, excessive consumption of protein and carbohydrates, pollutants such as pesticides and industrial chemicals, lack of physical activity, history of benign thyroid tumors and goitre can increase the risk of thyroid malignancy. Conclusion: Malignancy of the thyroid gland accounts for 1-2% of all malignancies and has a high mortality rate. Review and early detection are needed regarding the risk of thyroid malignancy to improve prognosis and reduce complications in patients.
