title: [Triiodothyronine and thyroxin binding to red blood cells in children and adolescents with thyroid cancer].
abstract: A comparison of triiodothyronine and thyroxin binding to red blood cells sampled from children and adolescents with such thyroid pathologies as cancer, adenoma, nodular goiter and thyroiditis, on the one hand, and healthy children, on the other, has established significant changes in the hormone-binding activity of erythrocytes in thyroid cancer patients. The thyroiditis-related changes suggested that disturbed thyroid hormone-binding by blood cells might play a role in thyroiditis and thyroid cancer pathogenesis.
