Abstract
Thyroid cancer is one of the most common cancers diagnosed in women of reproductive age and during pregnancy. This leads to important questions about thyroid cancer prognosis and treatment, but also fertility and risk for adverse obstetric and/or fetal and neonatal outcomes. The benefits of thyroid cancer treatment should be weighed against its harms, as various options may adversely impact maternal and fetal health. In the current review, the authors focus on perinatal-specific clinical considerations related to the care of patients with thyroid cancer.
