Abstract
During the period from January 1, 1985 to December 31, 2006, 14 147 primary patients with pathologically proven thyroid cancer underwent therapy and were followed up in the Thyroid Cancer Center (Minsk, Belarus). The standard incidence of thyroid cancer during these 22 years increased from 1.3 to 8.8 per 100000 individuals, with the mortality rate remaining stable and low. These observations demonstrate that the number of patients treated for thyroid malignancies is growing in the Belarusian population. Current trends in the incidence of and mortality resulting from thyroid cancer imply this disease comprises a considerable medical problem in the country.
