Socioeconomic Disparities and Risk of Papillary Thyroid Cancer Associated with Environmental Exposure to Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) in Florida Open
The existing literature suggests that exposure to Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) can increase Papillary Thyroid Cancer (PTC) risk by interfering with thyroid hormone signaling, leading to hormonal imbalances that promote carcin…
