The medical and social significance of thyroid diseases has increased significantly in recent decades. This trend is caused not only by the deterioration of the environment and the influence of harmful behavioral habits of society, but also by the progress of medicine in the field of diagnostics and treatment, especially in oncological diseases. Numerous studies indicate an increase in the incidence of thyroid cancer, however, mortality from this pathology remains stable. Thyroid oncopathology remains one of the few types of cancer, the prevalence of which is increas ing over time, despite advances in medicine. Over the past few years, it has been established that overdiagnosis is one of the factors of the stable growth of the incidence, and, most likely, we are observing a combination of both a systematic error in detection and a real increase in the number of cases of this nosology. In general, this problem manifests as a multifactorial phenomenon, influenced by the environment, metabolism, diet, and hormones, possibly interacting with genetic predisposition. Although most cases of thyroid cancer are curable, the burden on healthcare is significant, so the increase in the number of thyroid cancer cases in Ukraine and in the world as a whole is a strong argument in favor of studying this problem in order to contribute to improving the quality of life and reducing mor tality. To study the prevalence of risk factors for thyroid cancer among the adult population, the results of a question naire survey were evaluated, taking into account age- and gender-specific characteristics, as a basis for improving preventive measures and algorithms for early detection of thyroid nodular pathology.
