Aldosterone excess can cause oxidative stress leading to DNA damage in vitro and in vivo. Single case reports demonstrated a coincidence of primary aldosteronism (PA) with different malignancies. A higher prevalence of thyroid nodules and non-toxic multinodular goiter was described in patients with PA compared to those with essential hypertension (EH). A single study showed an association between PA and papillary thyroid cancer (PTC), but without a paired control group. Objective: To assess PA prevalence in a transversal cohort of patients with PTC and EH compared to a paired control group with HT.
Tumor deposits (TD), nodules in the peritumoral adipose tissue with no architectural residue of lymph node, which is a definition often being confusing to the extranodal extension (ENE), have been described in several malignancies and linked to a worse prognosis. In gastric cancer and colon cancer, TD and ENE should be distinguished and collected separately in 8th AJCC manual. However, in thyroid cancer, TD as a collection variable was absence in both the 8th AJCC manual and the 2015 ATA guideline. This is a study that revealed the presence of TD by reviewing a large number of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) specimens and explored its prognostic value by constructing a nomogram to accurately predict disease-free survival in PTC patients.
Papillary cancer is a disease that spreads through lymphatic ways and its treatment is surgery. We performed prophylactic central dissection in addition to bilateral total thyroidectomy in patients with bethesda 5 and bethesda 6 biopsy results. We evaluated the pathology results retrospectively.
Optimal surgical technique for neck dissection (LND) in thyroid carcinoma remains a subject of debate. Fascial ND (FND) implies the removal of the superficial and middle layers of the deep cervical fascia en bloc with lymph-nodes containing fibro-fatty tissue (levels IIa-Vb and VI-VII for cN1b patients). This retrospective cohort study was designed to compare FND with standard, non-fascial, selective ND (SND).
Non-medullary thyroid carcinoma has a good prognosis in most patients. However, a small subset of patients nevertheless develop metastatic or locally advanced and unresectable disease which in some cases also becomes radioiodine refractory. In these patients treatment options are very limited. Earlier cell line and animal studies have shown that digoxin can reinduce radioiodine uptake in non-medullary thyroid cancer. This study serves as a proof of principle study to assess the possibility of digoxin to reinduce radioiodine uptake in adult humans with metastatic or locally advanced non-medullary radioiodine refractory thyroid carcinoma.
To establish and validate a suitable and practical nomogram for primary hospitals to predict the risk of central lymph node metastasis (CLNM) among thyroid papillary carcinoma (PTC) patients based on clinical and ultrasound characteristics among Chinese population，1000 PTC patients were retrospectively reviewed who underwent bilateral thyroidectomy or lobectomy plus central lymph node dissection（CLND） between June 2014 and September 2019 in Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital (Guangzhou, South China), and then LASSO regression analysis was performed to screen out the possible predictors. Another 200 PTC patients from the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University (Zhengzhou, North China) who underwent bilateral thyroidectomy or lobectomy plus CLND between March 2019 and November 2020 were enrolled to construct the nomogram. The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves (AUC), calibration curves and decision curve analysis (DCA) were used to evaluate the nomogram.
Purpose: To investigate the clinical characteristics of papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) with Bethesda category III (AUS/FLUS) by fine needle aspiration (FNA) and to assisted the precision treatment. Methods:A total of 290 patients who underwent thyroidectomies or thyroid lobectomies from August 2015 to September 2020, following a diagnosis of Bethesda category III (AUS/FLUS) from preoperative thyroid FNA were investigated. Groups: In order to investigate the clinopathologic characteristics, the patients, were grouped according to Cytology,Gender, Tumor size.
This study aimed to identify the potential circulating biomarkers of protein, mRNAs, and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) to differentiate the papillary thyroid cancers from benign thyroid tumors. Methods: The study population of 100 patients was classified into identification (10 patients with papillary thyroid cancers and 10 patients with benign thyroid tumors) and validation groups (45 patients with papillary thyroid cancers and 35 patients with benign thyroid tumors). The Sengenics Immunome Protein Array combined data mining approach using the Open Targets Platform was used to identify the putative protein biomarkers, and their expression validated using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Next-generation sequencing by Illumina HiSeq was used for the detection of dysregulated mRNAs and lncRNAs. The website Timer v2.0 helped identify the putative mRNA biomarkers, which were significantly over-expressed in papillary thyroid cancers than in adjacent normal thyroid tissue. The mRNA and lncRNAs biomarker expression was validated by a real-time polymerase chain reaction.
Background After diagnosing well-differentiated thyroid cancer (WDTC), careful assessment of the risk for disease-specific recurrence is essential for deciding between partial (low risk) and completion (high risk) thyroidectomies. Patients' preoperatively determined risk levels are re-stratified according to surgical and final histopathological findings. The American Thyroid Association 2015 guidelines suggest that patients with WDTC between 1-4 cm in size and without suspicious features may be suitable candidates for partial thyroidectomy. The incidence and clinical implications of high-risk features discovered postoperatively in patients with preoperatively determined low-risk WDTC have not been previously reported. Methods All thyroidectomies performed between 2006-2018 in the Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center were included. Pre- and postoperative risk stratifications were performed, and the rate of completion thyroidectomy was determined. Patients with 1-4 cm WDTC without evidence of positive cervical lymph nodes, invasion to adjacent structures, or high-risk cytology were considered at low risk for disease-specific recurrence and therefore suitable for lobectomy.
