Journal Article
·
· Ann. Intern. Med.; (United States)
Reports of thyroid cancer as a consequence of head and neck irradiation during infancy are discussed. It is pointed out that physicians have overlooked the use of radiotherapy for pertussis during 1920 to 1940. Hazards of thyroid neoplasia in adults as a result of radiotherapy for whooping cough are emphasized. (HLW)
