Thyroid cancer is the most rapidly increasing cancer type among women and the second among men. Early detection greatly improves the prognosis. For this purpose, the platelet distribution width (PDW), an early indicator of platelet activation, might be useful. The aim of this study was to
BACKGROUND
Precise targeting has played a pivotal role in the success of surgery for recurrent differentiated thyroid cancers (DTCs). To improve on current targeting methods, we developed a novel technique using (99m)Tc-macroaggregated human serum albumin and indocyanine green (TIGMA), with which
Anti-thyroglobulin antibodies, anti-thyroid microsomal antibodies, serum thyroglobulin, and carcinoembryonic antigen were assayed in sera of patients with a history of thyroid irradiation and in patients with thyroid cancer. In irradiated patients, the frequency of positive results for each test was
BACKGROUND
Thyroid cancer is the most common endocrine malignancy. The outcomes of patients with relapsed thyroid cancer treated on early-phase clinical trials have not been systematically analyzed.
METHODS
We reviewed the records of consecutive patients with metastatic thyroid cancer referred to
BACKGROUND
Medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) is a calcitonin (Ct)-secreting tumor of the parafollicular or C cells of the thyroid gland. Higher serum Ct levels are associated with larger tumor size, distant metastases, and prognosis. We report herein a case of prostate and multiple bone metastases of
OBJECTIVE
Initial surgery for medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) with no evidence of lymph node involvement in neck compartments consists of total thyroidectomy and prophylactic central neck dissection. This study evaluated the reliability of a radiotracer technique for the intraoperative detection of
The aim of this study is to share the efficacy of the radionuclide occult lesion localization (ROLL) technique in secondary neck exploration in patients who had undergone neck exploration due to thyroid or parathyroid pathology and to share our clinical As the most common endocrine malignancy with a high incidence, thyroid cancer lacks a dual-modal imaging method for precise diagnosis. An accurate and multimodal imaging system is pivotal to solve this problem. Herein, dual-modality fluorescence/Computed Tomography (CT) iodinated gold nanoclusters
BACKGROUND
Surgery is the elective treatment for cervical relapse from differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) but it is technically challenging, with risk of failure and morbidity. We explored the feasibility and the efficacy of Radioguided Occult Lesion Localization (ROLL) with intratumoral 99mTc
Prophylactic central neck dissection in patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma is controversial. Sentinel node biopsy might be an adjunct to optimize surgical treatment for these patients. Earlier studies reported inconsistent detection rates and diagnostic value of this technique, OBJECTIVE
We explored the feasibility of radioguided occult lesion localization (ROLL) for radioiodine-negative cervical recurrences from differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC).
METHODS
The procedure was performed in 32 patients (3 patients being operated twice); 15/32 patients had had multiple prior
OBJECTIVE
Lymphadenectomy for papillary thyroid cancer is a matter of debate. After showing its usefulness as a prognostic factor in both melanoma and breast cancer, the concept of sentinel lymph node biopsy was also recently applied to differentiated thyroid cancer. To date, all attempts to locate
A study was made of an effect of irradiation on pulmonary microcirculation using perfusion pulmoscintigraphy indicators. Altogether 13 breast cancer patients (9 with left-side and 4 with right-side involvement) and 9 thyroid cancer patients were examined before and after radiation therapy. Absorbed
Chronic inflammation is one of the underlying risks associated with thyroid cancer. We ascertained the association between commonly measured serum biomarkers of inflammation and the risk of thyroid cancer in Swedish Apolipoprotein-related MORtality RISk (AMORIS) study. 226,212 subjects had baseline
OBJECTIVE
We intended to use a radioguided technique for pre-operative localization of neck node recurrences in patients with papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) already submitted to thyroidectomy and radioiodine treatment.
METHODS
We selected 20 patients affected by PTC with evidence of neck nodes
