a higher risk of being diagnosed with another form of cancer. However, there are so many different risk factors, it is hard to directly link the two types. It may just seem more commonly diagnosed because people who have already had cancer are often screened and tested for years after. This would cause I much more likelihood of being diagnosed whereas someone who has never had cancer may never even know. I discovered most of these facts from a website called CancerHelp UK @ http://www.cancerhelp.org.uk/type/thyroid-cancer/about/thyroid-cancer-risks-and-causes
