Levothyroxine is recommended for long-term TSH suppression. For some patients, this may be difficult to tolerate due to adverse effects, such as impaired cognitive function.METHODS This article reviews the evidence for the role of combination treatment with triiodothyronine (T3) and levothyroxine (T4) in these patients.RESULTS The evidence for combination T3 and T4 treatment comes mainly from studies on hypothyroidism, and research into its use for TSH suppression is limited.CONCLUSION Although the evidence \u00a0base is not strong, there is a small group of patients who may benefit from combination T3 and T4 treatment due to difficulty tolerating thyroxine. Until further evidence is available, a case-by-case approach is recommended.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1002\/hed.24926\/epdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Link to full-text<\/a> [Available to eligible users with an NHS OpenAthens account]<\/p>\n<p><strong>Altmetrics<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"altmetric-embed\" data-badge-details=\"right\" data-badge-type=\"medium-donut\" data-pmid=\"28960722\" data-hide-no-mentions=\"true\"><\/div>\n<p><script type='text\/javascript' src='https:\/\/d1bxh8uas1mnw7.cloudfront.net\/assets\/embed.js'><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Type of publication: Journal article Author(s): *Fussey, Jonathan Mark; Khan, Habib; *Ahsan, Farhan; *Prashant, Ravi; Pettit, *Laura Citation: Head &amp; neck; Dec 2017; vol. 39 (no. 12); p. 2567-2572 Abstract: BACKGROUND In the management of differentiated thyroid carcinoma, surgery with<span class=\"ellipsis\">&hellip;<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"read-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.library.sath.nhs.uk\/research\/2018\/02\/22\/thyroid-stimulating-hormone-suppression-therapy-for-differentiated-thyroid-cancer-the-role-for-a-combined-t3-t4-approach-2017\/\">Read more <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Thyroid-stimulating hormone suppression therapy for differentiated thyroid cancer: The role for a combined T3\/T4 approach (2017)<\/span><span class=\"meta-nav\"> &#8250;<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<p><!-- end of .read-more --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[200],"tags":[677,353,755],"class_list":["post-4795","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-staff-publication","tag-677","tag-oncology","tag-thyroid-cancer"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.library.sath.nhs.uk\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4795","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.library.sath.nhs.uk\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.library.sath.nhs.uk\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.library.sath.nhs.uk\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/12"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.library.sath.nhs.uk\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4795"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.library.sath.nhs.uk\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4795\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5581,"href":"https:\/\/www.library.sath.nhs.uk\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4795\/revisions\/5581"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.library.sath.nhs.uk\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4795"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.library.sath.nhs.uk\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4795"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.library.sath.nhs.uk\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4795"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
