Hypothyroidism might be related to breast cancer in post-menopausal women.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16356089
Conclusion: Hypothyroidism and low-normal FT4 are related with an increased risk
of breast cancer in post-menopausal women.
But the research is not limited to breast cancer alone. More and more research is
showing the involvement of hypothyroidism in other forms of cancer, including lung
cancer.

Thyroid function in lung cancer
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1602576/
Excerpt: Overall, the pattern of thyroid hormone metabolism in lung cancer was a
tendency towards reduced T3 concentrations with significantly increased T4/T3
ratios and modestly increased 3,3′,5′-triiodothyronine (rT3) concentrations… These
data suggest that thyroid hormone metabolism is altered in patients with lung cancer
by decreased 5′-monodeiodination of T4.
Hypothyroidism’s involvement in the disease process doesn’t stop with heart disease
and cancer. But I wanted to shed some light on these two in particular because they are
responsible for nearly half of all deaths in the United States each year.
Imagine how many unnecessary deaths could be prevented by simply focusing your
attention on healing your thyroid. Imagine the improvements in the quality of life.
The prevalence of other thyroid related diseases, like diabetes, which is currently the 7 th
leading cause of death, are rapidly increasing and more and more research is
demonstrating the involvement of hypothyroidism in diabetes today.

Thyroid function is intrinsically linked to insulin sensitivity and endothelium-
dependent vasodilation in healthy euthyroid subjects.

CONCLUSIONS: Thyroid function tests are intrinsically linked to variables of insulin
resistance and endothelial function.
