solid cancer

Solid tumor Oncology A malignancy that forms a discrete tumor mass–eg, CA of brain, breast, prostate, colorectum, kidney; sarcoma; melanoma, in contrast to lymphoproliferative malignancies–eg, leukemia, which may diffusely infiltrate a tissue without forming a mass. See Lymphoproliferative disorder.

But a new research that was released on Monday suggested that there is a modest association between the overall absorption of radioactive iodine by various organs and the increased risk of solid cancer deaths.

Treatment For Hyperthyroidism Can Increase Risk Of Cancer Mortality, Says Study

TUESDAY, July 2, 2019 (HealthDay News) -- For patients with hyperthyroidism treated with radioactive iodine (RAI), greater organ-absorbed doses seem to be positively associated with increased risk of death from solid cancer, according to a study published online July 1 in JAMA Internal Medicine.

The study couldn't prove cause-and-effect, but "we identified a clear dose-response relationship between this widely used treatment and long-term risk of death from solid cancer, including breast cancer, in the largest cohort study to date of patients treated for hyperthyroidism," said lead author Cari Kitahara.
