What's the Fastest Growing Cancer Diagnosis in U.S.? on Yahoo! Health

A full-page ad in a recent Time magazine, paid for by the Light of Light Foundation, recommends that you ask your doctor to check your neck for thyroid nodules— abnormal growths that form a lump in the thyroid gland. In fact, thyroid nodules have become the most common endocrine diagnosis in the United States, with thyroid cancer now being the fastest growing cancer diagnosis in the country. I had to have my thyroid remove for possible cancer two years ago (it was benign). I hadn't realized that it's all that common of a problem.
