Hormone replacement in survivors of childhood cancer and brain tumors: safety and controversies

The influence these hormones have on cell growth and metabolism has raised concerns regarding the safety of their use as treatments in survivors of childhood cancer and brain tumors. This manuscript offers a summary of current knowledge, controversies and areas for future research pertaining to this area.

Finally, thyroidectomy often leads to the need for lifelong supplementation of thyroid hormone, which requires relatively close follow‐up in a growing child as opposed to a stable‐weight adult 29,30 . Given the differences in clinical presentation and long‐term outcome between adults and children with thyroid nodules and thyroid malignancy, care needs to be taken in the utilisation of adult guidelines in the paediatric setting.…”
