Background Hypothyroidism is a common adverse event after radiotherapy for head and neck tumors and the incidence need to be re-evaluated because of using intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT). Aims/Objectives Confirm the dose-volume effect of IMRT for pharyngeal cancer on hypothyroidism. Materials and methods This was a retrospective analysis of patients underwent IMRT for pharyngeal cancer from June 2011 to May 2018. Patients were classified into group A (thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) 67% had a significantly higher incidence of hypothyroidism. Conclusions and significance Patients with pharyngeal cancer who had ND and V45 to the thyroid >67% are at risk of hypothyroidism.
