title: [THE INVOLVEMENT OF THYROID HORMONES IN CANCER].
abstract: The possible association between thyroid hormones and cancer has been reported over the years in pre-clinical and clinical studies. These studies suggest that high levels of hormones induce cancer cell proliferation while low levels slow disease progress. A context in which to interpret such findings is the recent description of a plasma membrane receptor for the thyroid hormone on cancer cells and dividing tumor-associated endothelial cells.
