OBJECTIVE: To determine the efficacy of thyroid hormone suppressive therapy (THST) to decrease benign thyroid nodule volume. DESIGN: Meta-analysis. METHODS: Systematic search using electronic databases (PubMed, Medline, Cochrane Library) through August 2004, paper review, and contacting experts and drug manufacturers. Only randomized controlled studies of THST vs no treatment or placebo, for reduction of benign thyroid nodule volume, were included. Exclusion criteria were: >6-month treatment, lack of ultrasound volume measurement, and region of endemic goiter. Primary outcome was clinically relevant nodule volume reduction (>50%), with a random effects model (RevMan4.2). RESULTS: Nine randomized trials were included (609 subjects). Subjects were 88% more likely to experience >50% nodule volume reduction with THST than placebo or no treatment (relative risk = 1.88; 95% CI = 1.18-3.01; P = 0.008). However, 8 subjects must be subjected to the risk of cardiac and skeletal side effects from THST, for one to benefit from therapy (number needed to treat = 8, risk difference = 0.13; 95% CI = 0.06-0.19; P = 0.0003). Sensitivity analysis reveals that 15 null studies would have to have been missed to reverse statistical significance (fail-safe N = 15). Review of the only study with long-term treatment (5 years) suggests no significant difference in nodule volume reduction between THST and placebo. Further, studies with follow-up after THST withdrawal demonstrate rapid increase in thyroid nodule and goiter volumes. CONCLUSION: THST appears more likely than placebo or no treatment to significantly reduce benign thyroid nodule volume, but long-term treatment may be less effective and regrowth is likely following cessation of therapy. Given the risks of THST, routine use is not recommended for benign nodules.

Abstract Introduction: There is evidence that insulin resistance is associated with different types of cancer. This resistance increases the incidence of benign thyroid nodules and the risk of developing Differentiated Thyroid Cancer, however, studies in this regard are required. Objective: To assess if there are differences in the prevalence of insulin resistance in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer and patients with benign thyroid nodule. Material and methods: Prospective, analytical and cross-sectional design study. Patients undergoing thyroidectomy and definitive diagnosis of differentiated thyroid cancer or benign thyroid nodule were included. Anthropometric and biochemical variables were evaluated and differences in prevalence of insulin resistance were identified. To compare continuous variables, Student's T or Mann Whitney's U was used. To evaluate differences in categorical variables, the two-sided Fisher test when two binary variables were contrasted and Pearson's X2 in variables with more than two categories. Factors were analyzed through multivariate analysis obtaining odds ratio and 95% confidence interval.Results: A lower possibility of cancer was concluded: hereditary-family history of thyroid disease and hypothyroidism (OR 0.159; 95% CI 0.038-0.669; p = 0.012). Positive HOMA-IR showed a significant association in residual structural disease (P = 0.050) and local vascular invasion (p = 0.014).Conclusions: No significant association was obtained between positive HOMA-IR and Differentiated Thyroid Cancer, compared with the Benignity group. It seems that there is a greater tendency to lack of structural and biochemical resolution in patients with malignancy and positive HOMA-IR.
