Abstract:
With the advancement of medical technology，the quality of life of children with cancer is increasingly valued.In particular，the incidence of endocrine disorders is increasing year by year，and thyroid disorders in children with cancer have attracted more and more attention.The main treatment options for cancer are chemotherapy，radiation therapy and surgery.Immunotherapy and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation bring more hope for survival to children with cancer.Although these treatment methods can alleviate the disease，they cannot avoid causing damage to the thyroid gland.Therefore，in order to detect thyroid disorders in a timely manner，thyroid function needs to be monitored during treatment and a standardized follow-up plan needs to be developed.In this article，common thyroid disorders，risk factors and management of thyroid health are discussed.The aim is to improve physicians'understanding of thyroid diseases in children with cancer，detect abnormalities in a timely manner，and intervene to improve their long-term quality of life.
