    Author: Miasnikov AA, Livshits AKh, Mendeleev IM.
    Journal: Ter Arkh; 1988; 60(5):59-62. PubMed ID: 3175931.
    Abstract:
    A total of 93 patients with Hodgkin's disease were investigated at different times after radiation therapy. The hypothyroid status was found in 21.7% of the patients. The influence of the patients' age at the time of irradiation, administration of iodine-containing contrast drugs, polychemotherapy, and a summary focal dose of thyroid irradiation on the frequency of development of postradiation hypothyrosis was discussed. Criteria for substitution therapy with thyroid hormones were defined.
