Diabetes Increases Risk of Thyroid Cancer
Researchers associated with the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) have found that the presence of diabetes increased the 10-year risk of thyroid cancer by 25% among adults 50 to 71 years old. Women were at a particularly high risk.
No one is quite sure why there is a connection although both diseases are endocrine disorders and are linked to autoimmune problems.
