Chemotherapy for post‐menopausal women with early breast cancer seems not to result in clinically significant changes in thyroid function
Although statistically significant changes in thyroid hormones were observed, this study suggests no obvious clinically significant changes in thyroid function in women with early BC after the course of chemotherapy. The decrease in thyroid function was not related to autoimmunity, non-thyroidal illness, radiotherapy, or high-dose corticosteroids. Further studies with a longer follow-up of thyroid function after adjuvant chemotherapy and supraclavicular locoregional radiotherapy are needed.
