Tireoidite de Hashimoto e sua relação com o câncer de tireoide: uma revisão sistemática

Abstract

Hashimoto's thyroiditis is the most prevalent autoimmune endocrine disease, being the most common cause of hypothyroidism in the world. Thyroid cancer has been increasing its incidence worldwide, being the most common neoplasm in the head and neck region. The association of both pathologies has been recognized and studied for seven decades, with many factors of the relationship still to be clarified. The objectives of this article were to evaluate the existing relationship between HT and CT, as well as to verify prognostic factors involved in the correlation. A systematic review study was carried out, with the inclusion of ten articles that analyzed the relationship between the diseases under epidemiological, histopathological and clinical panoramas. It was observed that the female gender was more affected by the concomitance of the diseases, and that the patients with both diseases were relatively younger than those with only cancer. Better prognoses were seen in patients who had HT. The relationship between CT AND TH still needs further study, although the association of both is more than just coincidental.
