Nulliparity enhances the risk of second primary malignancy of the breast in a cohort of women treated for thyroid cancer.
Background
many studies reported a higher risk of developing a Second Primary Malignancy (SPM) of the breast in women treated for a thyroid cancer. We investigated some possible risk factors for this particular association. The aim of this retrospective cohort study is to identify a subgroup of women operated for papillary thyroid cancer to be addressed to a more careful mammary screening.
