1Department of Oncology, First Hospital, Wenzhou Medical College, Wenzhou 325003.
Objective:
To study the diagnosis and treatment of thyroid cancer during pregnancy.
Method:
12 pregnant patients with thyroid cancer were retrospectively analysed.
Result:
Diagnosis was dependent on the clinical manifestation, the examination of B-ultrasonic and the fine-needle aspiration biopsy of thyroid, 4 patients who asked for ending pregnancy were operated on after abortion, 6 patients with early and middle pregnancy were operated on during pregnancy, and 2 patients with late pregnancy were operated on after delivery. No patients showed recurrence of cancer, and their children were healthy, and the shape and function of the children's thyroid were normal.
Conclusion:
Pregnant patients with thyroid cancer during early and middle pregnancy should be operated on in time, and late pregnant patients should be operated on after delivery. All patients should take levothyroxine.

Synthesis and Regulation of Thyroid Hormones
Upon reaching the thyroid gland, TSH stimulates the follicular cells' active uptake of iodide ions from the blood. The ions diffuse to the apical surface of the cells and are oxidized to iodine. The iodine is then...
