Abstract

Relevance. Thyroid cancer is one of the most prevalent endocrine cancers, which makes the study of issues related to
its variants and complications arising during treatment relevant. Secondary anaemia may occur in patients with differentiated
thyroid cancer treated with radiotherapy.
Aim of this study was to analyse the potential of using hypocalcaemia as a predictor of onset of secondary anaemia after
radiotherapy in differentiated thyroid cancer patients.
Materials and methods. The study covered a cohort of 120 differentiated thyroid cancer patients treated using
conventional methods (including surgery, radiotherapy and hormonotherapy). The occurrence and development of
complications in the form of secondary anaemia were analysed.
Results. Blood calcium under 2.2 mmol/L in thyroid cancer patients prior to radiotherapy represents a risk factor for the
occurrence of secondary anaemia. Calcium deficiency must be monitored and treated in order to avoid this complication.
Conclusions. Onset of secondary anaemia is correlated to hypocalcaemia in thyroid cancer patients with
hypoparathyroidism. Blood calcium must be monitored prior to radiotherapy during treatment of thyroid cancer.
