Abstract

[The prevalence of thyroid cancer has been increasing worldwide. The evaluation and management of thyroid nodules and thyroid cancers in pregnancy pose a special challenge given concerns for potential adverse effects of any procedures or treatment on the developing fetus. Nodule characteristics, serum TSH levels, and patient preferences should be considered in evaluating newly diagnosed thyroid nodules in pregnancy. Cancer types and characteristics, the timing of cancer diagnosis, and patient preference should be considered in selecting management and treatment options for newly diagnosed thyroid cancers in pregnancy. Tumor surveillance strategies in pregnant women with previously treated thyroid cancer will depend on the response to treatment.]
