The optimal method of screening for thyroid cancer in survivors of childhood and young adult cancer exposed to neck radiation remains controversial. Outcome data for a physical exam-based screening approach are lacking. We conducted a retrospective review of adult survivors of childhood and young adult cancer with a history of neck radiation followed in the Adult Long-Term Follow-Up Clinic at Memorial Sloan Kettering between November 2005 and August 2014. Eligible patients underwent physical exam of the thyroid and were followed for at least one year afterwards. Ineligible patients were those with prior diagnosis of benign or malignant thyroid nodules. During a median follow-up of 3.1 years (range 0–9.4 years), 106 ultrasounds and 2,277 physical exams were performed among 585 patients. Forty survivors had an abnormal thyroid physical exam a median of 21 years from radiotherapy; fifty percent of those with an abnormal exam were survivors of Hodgkin lymphoma, 60% had radiation at ages 10–19 and 53% were female. Ultimately, 24 underwent fine needle aspiration (FNA). Surgery revealed papillary carcinoma in 7 survivors; 6 are currently free of disease and one with active disease is undergoing watchful waiting. Among those with one or more annual visits, representing 1,732 person-years of follow-up, no cases of thyroid cancer were diagnosed within a year of normal physical exam. These findings support the application of annual physical exam without routine ultrasound for thyroid cancer screening among survivors with a history of neck radiation. Survivors with a history of neck radiation may not require routine thyroid ultrasound for thyroid cancer screening.
