Presentation transcript:

****Suppression of the serum TSH with levothyroxine has been shown to be of more benefit in patients with higher stages of disease. In older patients with thyroid cancer, the benefits of TSH suppression and iatrogenic thyrotoxicosis have to be balanced against a risk of atrial fibrillation and bone loss in postmenopausal women.
