Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone, Thyroid Hormones, and Risk of Papillary Thyroid Cancer: A Nested Case-Control Study

Conclusions: We found a significantly increased risk of PTC associated with TSH levels below the normal range among women and with TSH levels above the normal range among men. An inverse association between PTC and TSH levels within the normal range was observed among both men and women.
Impact: These results could have significant clinical implications for physicians who are managing patients with abnormal thyroid functions and those with thyroidectomy. Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev; 26(8); 1209–18. ©2017 AACR.
