Exposure to radiation results in an increased occurrence of nodularity to the thyroid and, more important, the development of cancer in a significant proportion of patients. Near-total thyroidectomy is recommended in those patients with a history of irradiation who are found on physical examination of the thyroid to have one or more nodules. Although pregnancy appears to have no effect on the course of thyroid carcinoma and the tumor has no effect on pregnancy, because of the numerous stimuli to thyroid growth during pregnancy, we feel that pregnancy is best avoided by women with known residual disease.
暴露于辐射会导致甲状腺结节发生率增加，更重要的是，相当一部分患者会发生癌症。对于有辐射史且经甲状腺体格检查发现有一个或多个结节的患者，建议行近全甲状腺切除术。虽然妊娠似乎对甲状腺癌的病程没有影响，且肿瘤对妊娠也无影响，但由于妊娠期间甲状腺生长有诸多刺激因素，我们认为已知有残留疾病的女性最好避免怀孕。
