ABSTRACT
Background:
During the past several decades an increasing incidence of thyroid cancer has been reported especially among women in very many parts of the world including Silesia Voivodeship.

Material and Methods:
Based on thyroid cancer data (and demographic data) following incidence rates were estimated: age-specific rates (for 5-year age groups, ie. 0–4, 5–9, etc. up until the age of 85+, crude rates (for all ages) and age standardized rates (ASR) – with the application of M. Spiegelman’s direct method as well as age structure of “world population “ for direct comparison.

Results:
Thyroid cancer age-adjusted rates (ASR) among Silesia females have increased by about 20% from 1999 to 2008. The incidence of thyroid cancer has been estimated taking into account histopathological types (carcinoma papillare, carcinoma folliculare and others) and time-trends according to age groups (20–44 years of age, 45–59 years of age and ‡60 years of age).

Conclusions:
The observation is being made of distinct increase of thyroid papilloma cancer and other types of cancer particularly among young women.
