Radioiodine-131 is commonly used for treatment of hyperthyroidism, however the effects on testis function are not known. This prompted us to study testis function in hyperthyroid men after 131I treatment. 15 hyperthyroid patients scheduled for 131I treatment underwent: testis US, hormone assessment and sperm analysis before and 45 days, 3, 6 and 10–15 months after 131I.

Introduction: BC patients have a high prevalence of anti-TPO-autoantibodies (TPOAb), which seem to be protective in BC patients. We hypothesized the presence of T-lymphocytes citotoxicity against a common antigen between thyroid and BC cells.Aim: To evaluate the possible expression of TPO gene in BC.Materials: Frozen tissue specimens: 8 BC, 5 peri-tumoral breast tissues (PT), 3 pancreatic adenocarcinoma (P), 2 kidney cancers (K) an...
