The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), which is part of the World Health Organization (WHO), estimates 24,800 new diagnoses of thyroid cancer in the European Countries in 2000. ^[1] Although this cancer often has a good prognosis, it is estimated that approximately 3,890 European women and 2,103 European men may have died from thyroid cancer in the year 2000.^[1] Thus, all thyroid cancer patients could benefit from regular monitoring.
