A member asked:
Would 15 plus ct scans over the years for different chronic health reasons cause a reason to be concerned about developing thyroid cancer because of those scans?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
This is a very reasonable question particularly if thyroid disease runs in your family. Fifteen CT scans is a lot, and clearly you have had some medical issues. Ask your doctor. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7050152/#:~:text=Exposure%20to%20medical%20radiation%20from,in%20women%20than%20in%20men.
