“…This is consistent with results of a pooled metaanalysis demonstrating no increased risk of melanoma in TC patients treated with RAI in contrast to the association demonstrated for leukemia following high exposure of RAI for TC [23]. Moreover, a study of seven patients with CM treated with thyroidectomizing doses of radioactive iodine or thyroidectomy showed no effect on tumor growth [24].…”
Background: The incidences of cutaneous melanoma (CM) and thyroid cancer (TC) continue to increase in the United States, and recent studies have demonstrated associations between these two malignancies.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
