Chemical carcinogenesis in the thyroid gland
Toxicol Lett.
1992 Dec.
Abstract
Chemical carcinogens and promoters in thyroid carcinogenesis may be divided into two types, one having goitrogenic effects, the other not having these effects e.g. phenobarbital, 4,4'-diaminodiphenylmethane. The influence of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone remains unclear, although some thyroid tumors have estrogen receptors. Further studies in this area are necessary.
