PH may occur in 0.7% of all patients with GCT but may be present in up to 60% of patients with very high levels of bHCG. Measuring serum levels of TSH and fT3 should be performed in addition to routine diagnostic measures in all patients with poor prognosis GCTs. Thyrostatic medication is recommended for patients with the clinical symptoms of hyperthyroidism. Early recognition of hyperthyroidism and prompt intervention will reduce comorbidity and help optimize therapeutic outcomes.
