The incidence of thyroid cancer is higher in women due to hormonal factors and gene factors. The key stages of a woman’s life—puberty, pregnancy, and menopause—are when the thyroid can also develop cancer. Estrogen, a hormone, stimulates the growth of thyroid cells and thus leads to an increase in thyroid cancer, especially in women. Also, some genetic factors and autoimmune thyroid diseases, which are more common in women, also increase the risk. It is because of these reasons that doctors can come up with better strategies that would assist in minimizing the occurrence of thyroid cancer or even treat it effectively, especially in women.
