Breast cancer and neoplasms of the thyroid gland: a bidirectional two-sample Mendelian randomization study
This study provides genetic evidence supporting a causal relationship between BC and malignant thyroid tumors. These findings highlight the importance of thyroid cancer screening in BC patients. However, further MR studies or randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are necessary to assess small effects accurately.
