Thyroid disorders may appear in case of iodine deficiency, if the thyroid parenchyma is weakened by thyroid autoimmunity, as observed in 10 to 20% of women of child-bearing age.

Pregnancy raises the volume of the goiter, supports its nodular reorganization and potentially the growth of possible cancerous nodules. Hyperthyroidism must be recognized and early treated; in particular, recommendation is made to raise hormonal substitution by approximately 30% as soon as the beginning of pregnancy. Hyperthyroidism during pregnancy is present in 2% of pregnant women and this risk increases in case of hyperemesis gravidarum and twin pregnancies. It should be distinguished from pregnancy Graves' disease which requires hormonal and immunizing monitoring, and systematic monitoring of the foetal development in case of significantly increased TSH antireceptor antibodies. Transplacentar thyroid dysfunction and neonatal dysthyroidism require close cooperation between endocrinologist, obstetrician and paediatrician.

Women are more likely to have thyroid cancer, at a ratio of three to one. Thyroid cancer may occur in any age group, although it is most common after the age of 30, and its aggressiveness increases significantly in older patients. Most patients present with a thyroid nodule. Thyroid nodules are frequent but only 5% of them are malignant. Over the last two decades, the widespread of diagnostic tools (ultrasonography, cytology) and changes in the surgical and pathological management of thyroid diseases have led to the increase of thyroid cancer, especially papillary microcarcinomas. Thyroid cancer is more frequent in people who have a history of thyroid exposure to radiation during childhood. The diagnosis is based on the histopathological examination that remains difficult in some cases. The most frequent thyroid cancers (papillary and follicular) are cured in 80-90 % of the cases if treated appropriately. Anaplastic cancer is rare and has a very poor prognosis. The primary therapy for thyroid cancer is total or near total thyroidectomy. Lymph node dissection is not systematically undertaken. Radioiodine treatment is advised for high risk patients and needs high levels of TSH to be effective. Then, patients must remain on thyroid hormone therapy for the rest of their lives. Prognosis factors are well defined and prognosis is good in case of differentiated thyroid cancer. Distant metastases are observed in 10% of the patients, and lung and bones are the most common sites. Locoregional recurrences are observed in 7% of the cases.

Unlike previously published observational studies, the WHI underlines the absence of preventive effects in terms of cardiovascular disorders. Therefore, despite the awareness of the difference between the WHI studied population and molecules and the French population and steroids used in France, and since we lack equivalent European epidemiological work, we should no longer prescribe HRT for cardiovascular disease prevention. On the other hand, some data from the WHI study do agree with the results of previous observational studies: a slight increase in the risk of venous thrombo-embolism, at least with the use of orally-administered estrogens; a decreased risk of colon cancer with the use of estrogen-progestogens; a protective effect against the risk of osteoporotic fractures in all areas studied. However, the main problem presented by the recent studies concerns the risk of breast cancer: outside data sources support the slight increase in the risk of breast cancer observed during the WHI study with the use of estrogen-progestogens. Besides, the same study did not observe any increased risk with the use of estrogen alone, which constitutes a new datum requiring confirmation. As for the widely-publicised results of the MWS study, which led the European Medicines Agency (EMEA) to revise its position on HRT, these appear too erroneous to be accepted without caution. In terms of medical practice, it is henceforward recommended to prescribe HRT in the lowest possible effective dosage, and to continue treatment only as long as symptoms persist, with temporary suspensions to verify signs of estrogen deficiency. Finally, some recent studies seem to indicate a greater risk of breast cancer in patients undergoing combined continuous - as opposed to sequential - hormone treatment, but this essential difference deserves further study.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100422,"journal":{"name":"EMC - Endocrinologie","volume":"2 1","pages":"Pages 90-101"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.emcend.2004.09.002","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91724320","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
