[The functional state of the thyroid gland in cancer of the larynx].
The paper is concerned with comparative evaluation of the influence of some therapeutic methods, based on the use of different radiation sources, dose fractionation regimens and radiomodifiers, on thyroid function in laryngeal cancer patients. Thyroid function was retrospectively assessed with regard to a course of disease within 2 yrs. after a radical course of radiation or combined therapy. Concomitant gamma-neutron therapy and radiotherapy in combined radiomodification were shown to produce the most inhibitory effect. Irrespective of a course of disease after a therapeutic course thyroid function in laryngeal cancer patients is decreased within 2 yrs. of observation.
