Infants and children are at greater risk than adults. This may be due to growth factors other than thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), that are operative in infants and children, but absent in adults. The growth of the thyroid from 20 mg grams at birth to 25 g in adulthood may not be mediated exclusively by thyroid stimulating hormone. The existence of other growth factors has been postulated, but not proven. 32,33,34 For unknown reasons, the incidence of carcinoma of the thyroid gland is greater in females than in males, in both irradiated and nonirradiated populations.
