The possibility of an association of Graves' disease (GD) with subsequent cancers raised by certain studies.
Using a database on 18 156 hospitalised GD patients, subsequent cancers were ascertained.
Increased risks of thyroid and parathyroid tumours were limited to the early follow-up period, which is probably a surveillance bias. Cancer sites with observed excess included the mouth and breast, in contrast to decreased risks of colon cancer, melanoma and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Increased subsequent cancers in GD patients appeared to be balanced by decreased risks at other sites; chance cannot be excluded.
一些研究表明 Graves 病（GD）与随后发生的癌症之间存在关联的可能性。
利用一个包含 18156 名住院 GD 患者的数据库，确定了随后发生的癌症病例。
甲状腺和甲状旁腺瘤的风险增加仅限于早期随访期，这可能是一种监测偏差。观察到的肿瘤部位包括口腔和乳房，而结肠癌、黑色素瘤和非霍奇金淋巴瘤的风险则降低。
GD 患者随后发生的癌症风险增加似乎被其他部位风险降低所平衡；不能排除偶然因素的影响。
