Alteration in Thyroid Functions in Female Patients with Breast Cancer Receiving Adjuvant Chemotherapy
Walid Mohamed Mahmoud;
Abstract
lteration of thyroid profile in patients with breast cancer receiving chemotherapy after modified radical mastectomy has been noticed and discussed in literature.
Causes of altered thyroid profile are still under investigations, multiple explanations include; chemotherapeutic induced cellular damage, the hypothalamus-pituitary-thyroid axis down-regulation, and decreased iodine intake.
Screening of hypothyroidism and replacement therapy is not routinely required in patients receiving chemotherapy unless clinical manifestations appear on these patients.
