Abstract

Background: Pregnancy may be associated with an increased risk of recurrence/progression of differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC). However, it is unclear if the impact of pregnancy would differ based on pre-pregnancy response to therapy status. The objective of this study was to investigate the risk of recurrence/progression of DTC, applying the response to therapy assessments to pre-pregnancy status as recommended by the 2015 American Thyroid Association thyroid cancer guidelines.
