Core Tip	We explored the impact of outdoor artificial light at night (ALN) on thyroid cancer (TC) worldwide. While a correlation was found between higher TC rates and ALN exposure in countries with greater economic indicators [gross domestic product (GDP) and health expenditure per person(HEP)], the association disappeared when accounting for registry quality. The findings suggest that high GDP may be more closely linked to health conditions and TC risk factors than ALN, possibly indicating a lifestyle connection to carcinogenesis. While correlations between ALN and economic factors are observed, a direct link of ALN to TC remains unconfirmed. Additionally, higher GDP/HEP could contribute to better diagnostic access, aiding TC diagnosis and registry inclusion.
