"Very few studies examining the effect of radiation on thyroid malignancies have been reported. The risk in adults was reported as being significantly less in adults compared to children. In a study examining lymphoma patients that underwent radiation treatment, abnormal USS images were found in 44% of patients, and 50% of patients demonstrated abnormal TFTs 4."

"The thyroid gland is one of the most radiosensitive organs in the human body. The most common cancer in patients being exposed to radiation is papillary thyroid carcinoma (94% compared to 80% in unexposed patients). RET/PTC rearrangements and BRAF mutations were commonly observed 5."

"There are three essential patient groups in which radiation-induced thyroid cancer occurs."
"There is no data advocating or against screening with ultrasound scans, and hence a risk-benefit decision must be made by the treating clinician with regards to unnecessary anxiety around benign appearing nodules and high dose exposure (≥100 Gy)."
