[Irradiation of the thyroid gland: changes in its function].
The authors have studied some usual parameters of the evaluation of the thyroid gland function, after secondary irradiation during tele-cobaltherapy treatment in 20 patients with larynx carcinoma. The parameters studied have been iodine uptake, Hamolsky index, T4, FT4 PB127I and cholesterol. The values, statistically treated, enable the conclusion that normal adult thyroid gland has a very low clinical and analytical radiosensibility.
