Abstract

Introduction: Incidental thyroid cancers are frequently detected in patients operated on for Graves' disease (GD). There are no clear data about the incidence and risk factors of incidental thyroid cancer in operated GD patients. The aim of this study is to evaluate the risk of thyroid carcinoma in surgically treated GD patients.
