Tracking about 53,000 Japanese women aged 40 to 69 for 14 years, researchers recorded 134 thyroid cancers and found daily seaweed eaters 1.7 times more likely to be diagnosed than those eating it twice a week or less, with a 3.8-fold risk after menopause.

Green tea may cut thyroid cancer risk in postmenopausal women
Among 100,507 Japanese adults followed 14.2 years, postmenopausal women drinking five or more cups of green tea a day were 53 percent less likely to develop thyroid cancer. Premenopausal women at that intake showed 66 percent higher risk, and no link appeared overall.
Drug
Kidney cancer drug Votrient may help some thyroid cancer
In a phase II trial of 37 patients with rapidly progressing thyroid cancer, 49 percent saw their tumour mass shrink on pazopanib, and 73 percent of those with follicular disease responded. Side effects forced dose reductions in 15 patients, and two patients died during treatment.
