    Introduction: Thyroid cancer is the most common type of cancer of the endocrine system, so research will provide updated information on this disease and seek to develop strategies to identify risk factors that may be useful in its prevention. Objective: Design prevention strategies that can be applied at the primary care level by general practitioners or specialists in family and community medicine to mitigate the risk of thyroid cancer. Methodology: The present study was carried out under a literature review over the last 5 years using scientific databases: Google Scholar, Scopus, Scielo, PubMed, in addition to web pages, clinical practice guidelines and other sites with information of importance to the study. Results: The causes of thyroid cancer are not yet fully understood, however, some of the factors that would be involved in its appearance are obesity, exposure to radiation, environmental factors, nutritional patterns and dietary patterns that according to the Spanish Society of Medical Oncology (SEOM) cancer can be prevented in 30 to 50% of cases if strategies are implemented to guide the eradication of these predisposing factors, so through research, preventive strategies were created that could reduce the risk of thyroid cancer. Conclusions: Thyroid cancer can be prevented in 30 to 50% of cases if strategies, policies or programs are implemented to guide the identification and eradication of predisposing factors. However, it should be clarified that the absence of cancer is not guaranteed, but it can help reduce the risk of developing it.
