“…This complication may be associated with radiation-induced thyroid volume reduction. Recent studies, mostly relatively small, have reported a significant decrease in thyroid volume (14–30 %) in patients with laryngeal cancer or nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), suggesting an association between the development of HT and post-RT thyroid atrophy [10] , [11] . In breast cancer patients, smaller thyroid volume has been associated with a higher incidence of radiation-induced HT [12] .…”

“…Specifically, irradiation to the supraclavicular field was associated with an increased risk of hypothyroidism compared with radiation to the breast and chest wall only [17] , [19] , [21] , [34] , with a pooled relative risk of 69 %, according to a recent meta -analysis [35] . Additionally, radiation-induced thyroid volume reduction [36] , [37] , [38] or a smaller thyroid volume was associated with a higher incidence of radiation-induced hypothyroidism [23] . Female sex [39] , [40] or systemic therapy [17] , [40] , [41] may also contribute to an increased risk.…”

“…Clinical studies have reported alteration in TH levels [ 46 , 47 ] as well as shrinkage in thyroid gland size [ 78 ] in patients undergoing or following chemotherapy. Moreover, THs can enhance the efficacy of chemotherapy [ 79 ].…”
