Evaluation of the incidence rates of subclinical hypothyroidism and hypoparathyroidism in breast cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy
In summary, we found that thyroid and parathyroid dysfunction after RT are relatively common findings among women with BC. It is a treatable source of morbidity in patients undergoing RT. Therefore, routine thyroid function monitoring should be recommended to improve the quality of life in BC survivors.
