Doug Davis diagnosed with thyroid cancer
Arizona Diamondbacks left-hander Doug Davis has been diagnosed with thyroid cancer.
Antineoplastic agents such as immunotherapies and targeted therapies that specifically target signaling pathways in cancer cells are associated with thyroid dysfunction in 20%-50% of cancer patients taking them, which can adversely affect patients' quality of life, according to a study published Oct. 18 in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.
