Objective @entity1583 encompass a large spectrum of disease entities whose treatment by chemo/radiotherapy could lead to thyroid complications. To the best of our knowledge, no study has simultaneously addressed thyroid function, @entity792 and nodularity. Therefore, we decided to conduct one.Materials and methods We evaluated 82 Caucasian @entity1 (36 @entity1 and 46 @entity1 ), who were treated at our Oncology division for @entity1583 ( @entity1582 , @entity1860 , @entity1072 , @entity1893 and @entity6582 vera) and compared them with a control group of 104 @entity1 . @entity1 who had received or were receiving external head/neck radiotherapy were excluded. All oncological @entity1 and control individuals underwent thyroid ultrasonography and thyroid function and @entity792 tests.Results A lower prevalence of enlarged thyroid and nodules were found in @entity1 with respect to controls. The rate of thyroid nodules was the highest in @entity1582 and @entity6582 vera, and the lowest in @entity1072 . @entity1893 @entity1 had the smallest thyroid nodules while @entity1 with @entity1582 the biggest ones. No @entity1 had @entity1375 , while 5.6% of @entity1 had @entity1378 . In contrast, within the control group the rates of @entity1375 and @entity1378 , overt and subclinical, were 3.8%, 20.2%, 0% and 0% respectively. Moreover, the overall rate of thyroid autoantibody positiveness in @entity1 was significantly lower than controls.Conclusion In our experience, we found a significantly lower prevalence of @entity1374 in hematologic @entity1 who underwent chemotherapy, but not radiotherapy, with respect to controls.
