Thyroid nodules and cancer are more common in women. Investigation during pregnancy is safe, with most cancers having an excellent prognosis and treatment adaptable to timing around delivery.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Thyroid nodules and thyroid cancer exhibit higher prevalence in women compared to men.
  • Thyroid nodules are frequently detected during pregnancy, necessitating careful evaluation.
  • Differentiated thyroid cancers, commonly diagnosed during pregnancy, generally present with an excellent prognosis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the diagnostic and management strategies for thyroid nodules and cancer during pregnancy.
  • To assess the safety and efficacy of fine-needle aspiration (FNA) in pregnant patients.
  • To provide guidance on the timing of surgical intervention and treatment for thyroid cancer in pregnant individuals.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review focusing on studies investigating thyroid nodules and cancer in pregnant women.

  • Analysis of data regarding the safety and accuracy of fine-needle aspiration (FNA) during pregnancy.
  • Evaluation of outcomes for differentiated thyroid cancers diagnosed during gestation.

    • Main Results:

    • Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) is confirmed as a safe and accurate diagnostic tool in pregnant patients.
    • Surgical intervention for thyroid cancer in the second trimester of pregnancy is considered safe.
    • Management of thyroid nodules or cancer discovered later in pregnancy can be deferred until postpartum.

    Conclusions:

    • Pregnancy does not necessitate termination or preclude future pregnancies in patients with thyroid nodules or cancer.
    • Early detection and appropriate management, including safe surgical timing, optimize outcomes for thyroid cancer during pregnancy.
    • Continued research and adherence to established guidelines ensure optimal patient care for thyroid conditions in pregnant women.
