| Popis: | We investigated the occurrence of thyroid and parathyroid disorders in 100 women (age 66-70 years) irradiated for cervical spondylosis on average 25 years previously and in 100 control women of similar age. Hyperparathyroidism (HPT), proven by operation, was diagnosed in one patient of each group, and three additional cases were diagnosed biochemically among irradiated women. The difference in incidence is not significant. Nor was there any significant difference in incidence of thyroid disorders. No thyroid carcinoma was found in either group. Even if there is a moderate increase of HPT after neck irradiation in middle-aged women the risk is not so great as to warrant organised follow-up. |
