A member asked:

What are some tumors or cancers that causes hypothyrodism?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Secondary cause: Secondary hypothyroidism is due to a failure of the pituitary gland to release thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) or thyrotropin releasing hormone (trh). This is usually caused by a tumor in the area of the pituitary or hypothalamus. Or, it can be caused by radiation to the brain.
