title: [An influence of combined treatment of laryngeal cancer on thyroid gland activity].
abstract: The aim of the research work was to estimate the risk of functional complications arising within thyroid after radiotherapy, when thyroid of patients being ill with carcinoma of head and neck area skin was afflicted with radiation beam as well as to examine whether the circadian rhythmand concentration of hypophysis and thyroid hormones are dependent on combined treatment. The group contained 18 pilot patients treated with combined method, which were examined for concentration and circadian rhythm of TSH, T3, T4, fT3, fT4 three times: before commencement of treatment, one month and six months after completion of treatment. Results of circadian rhythm and concentration of thyroid hormones examinations proved that in case of all hormones the circadian rhythm exist which undergoes a dysrrythmia after one month and six months from completion of combined treatment.
