Three patients (two female and one male), who had received mantle irradiation for Hodgkin's disease eight, ten, and twelve years previously, developed papillary thyroid carcinoma. The radiation doses to the necks overlying the site of thyroid cancers were 3000, 4000, and 4100 rads, respectively. It has been stated that there is no risk of developing thyroid cancer with such high doses of external irradiation but apparently this complication will be encountered in a small number of patients.
三名患者（两名女性和一名男性），分别在8年、10年和12年前因霍奇金病接受了斗篷野照射，之后发生了甲状腺乳头状癌。甲状腺癌部位上方颈部的辐射剂量分别为3000、4000和4100拉德。据称，如此高剂量的外照射不会有发生甲状腺癌的风险，但显然少数患者会出现这种并发症。
