Abstract
Childhood cancer survivors (CCS) are at increased risk of developing thyroid disorders during follow-up. Radiation therapy to a field that includes the thyroid gland and 131I-meta-iodobenzylguanidine (131I-MIBG) treatment are the main risk factors for thyroid sequelae, which include decreased thyroid function, hyperthyroidism, thyroid nodules, and differentiated thyroid cancer, specifically papillary thyroid carcinoma. In addition, treatment with anti-neoplastic drugs or immunotherapy may result in thyroid dysfunction. Central hypothyroidism may be seen in CCS after cranial radiotherapy, after immunotherapy, or secondary to a brain tumor that involves the hypothalamic-pituitary region and will be discussed elsewhere in this series. In this chapter, the prevalence, risk factors, surveillance, and management of primary hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, thyroid nodules, and differentiated thyroid carcinoma in CCS are discussed.
期刊介绍:
A series of integrated overviews on cutting-edge topics
New sophisticated technologies and methodological approaches in diagnostics and therapeutics have led to significant improvements in identifying and characterizing an increasing number of medical conditions, which is particularly true for all aspects of endocrine and metabolic dysfunctions. Novel insights in endocrine physiology and pathophysiology allow for new perspectives in clinical management and thus lead to the development of molecular, personalized treatments. In view of this, the active interplay between basic scientists and clinicians has become fundamental, both to provide patients with the most appropriate care and to advance future research.
