Hypothyroidism incidence after multimodality treatment for stage III and IV squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck.
Int J Radiat Oncol Biol Phys. 2001; (3): 599-604
Treatment of head-and-neck cancer patients with surgery, radiotherapy (RT), and chemotherapy has been associated with posttherapy hypothyroidism (HT). We evaluated the rate of posttherapy HT in patients with locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck, treated with multimodality therapy to determine which factors might predict this condition and at what interval the condition developed.
