Is There a Link Between Graves' Disease and Cancer?
The relationship between Graves' disease and thyroid cancer has been a topic of ongoing research. Although Graves' disease itself is not a form of cancer, the hyperactive state of the thyroid may sometimes lead to the development of thyroid nodules, some of which can be malignant. Several studies suggest a slightly increased risk of thyroid carcinoma in patients with Graves' disease, though the overall risk remains relatively low.
