“…Thyroid hormone medication has also been claimed to be beneficial for the treatment of advanced breast cancer (Loeser, 1954;Lemon, 1957;Gardner et al, 1962;Witt et al, 1963). Loeser (1954) stated that thyroid hormone "given in massive dosage in cases of inoperable cancer of breast and genitals, slowed down cancerous growth", but others (Stoll, 1962;Emery and Trotter, 1963;Lyons, 1968; O'Bryan et al, 1974) found thyroid hormone of no curative or palliative value in breast cancer patients. Rather, thyroid hormone excess has been observed to be associated with decreased survival rates from breast cancer (Moossa et al, 1973).…”

“…The Use of Thyroid Hormone A number of workers have claimed that the addition of thyroid hormone to the treatment of patients with steroid hormones or by other methods would improve the results obtained. Emery & Trotter (1963) have recently reported on a double-blind trial which showed conclusively that triiodothyronine in doses up to 120 pg daily did not influence the course of the disease, but in this study the thyroid hormone was given by itself for the duration of the investigation. Stoll (1962) has described the failure of thyroid extract and triiodothyronine to affect the response to treatment when combined with synthetic cestrogens.…”

“…T αρκετούς ερευνητές στην διατύπωση της άποψης ότι ο υπερθυρεοειδισμός ασκεί προστατευτική δράση έναντι του καρκίνου του μαστού[22],[37]. Έτσι, σύμφωνα με αυτά τα δεδομένα, οι υψηλές τιμές Θυρεοειδικής Ορμόνης μπορεί να είναι Σύμφωνα με αυτές, η χορήγηση Θυροξίνης σε ασθενείς με προχωρημένο καρκίνο του μαστού δεν κατόρθωσε να αποτρέψει την εκδήλωση μεταστατικής νόσου[38], ούτε και να βελτιώσει την επιβίωσή τους[39],8 T[40]. Επίσης, παρατηρήθηκε και το -κατά κάποιο τρόπο-συμπληρωματικό φαινόμενο, όπου ασθενείς με καρκίνο του μαστού δεν εμφάνισαν κάποιον επηρεασμό των τιμών των TSH, FT 4 , anti-TPO και anti-Tg, μετά από την χορήγηση χημειοθεραπείας και αντιοιστρογονικής αγωγής με Tamoxifen[32].Τα στοιχεία τα οποία έχουν συσσωρευθεί κατά τα τελευταία χρόνια, υποστηρίζουν περαιτέρω την σύνδεση μεταξύ των νοσημάτων του θυρεοειδούς, τον υποθυρεοειδισμό ή τα ιδιαίτερα χαμηλά επίπεδα των θυρεοειδικών ορμονών και του καρκίνου του μαστού.…”
