Tracheal stenosis due to infiltrative nonresectable thyroid cancer causes severe reduction in life quality. Palliative therapy, apart from tracheostomy is--up to now--intraluminal and/or external radiation. Good tumor control is achieved by local hyperthermia. A combined modality treatment (CMT)
Treatment of thyroid cancer has incurred much focus because of its high prevalency. As a new strategy treating thyroid cancer, hyperthermia takes several advantages compared with surgery or chemotherapy, including minimal invasion, low systematic toxicity and the ability to enhance the
Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) is a rare but almost invariably lethal disease. In this manuscript, we present a case where the dominant manifestation of ATC beside the goitre was elevated CRP values and a persistent low-grade fever. The patient underwent surgical removal of the tumour,
OBJECTIVE
This study tested the hypothesis that administration of human recombinant thyroid-stimulating hormone (rhTSH: Thyrogen, thyrotropin alpha) could promote iodine-131 ((131)I) uptake in the therapy for metastatic or locally invasive differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC), obviating L-thyroxine
An unusual encounter of a thyroid storm, on two separate occasions, is reported in a patient with metastatic differentiated thyroid cancer following initially direct trauma to, and later tumour embolisation of, a metastatic skeletal lesion. Shortly after a fall, our patient presented with pain and
Considering the high rate of missed diagnosis and delayed treatments for thyroid cancer, an effective systematic model for the differential diagnosis is highly needed. Thus we analyzed the data on the clinicopathological characteristics, routine laboratory tests and imaging examinations in a cohort
Reports is the case of a 21-year-old student, who received a medical examination at our Department for an abnormal chest shadow that had been detected during a periodic health examination at his university. No special subjective symptoms such as a cough and/or sputa, pyrexia, pectoralgia, and
Data literatures report numerous association between giant congenital nevus and development alteration; only two cases describe its coexistence with thyroid disorders. However, we report the association of papillary thyroid cancer and giant congenital nevus. Papillary thyroid cancer is the most
Adult onset Still's disease (AOSD) is a systemic inflammatory disease characterized primarily by a triad consisting of daily fever, arthritis and maculopapular exanthema. The pathogenesis and etiology of AOSD are unknown and the diagnosis, which can be very challenging, is often made by exclusion.
We present a patient with thyroid cancer, who developed respiratory acidosis, tachycardia and hyperthermia during isoflurane anesthesia. Malignant hyperthermia was suspected on the basis of clinical manifestation and laboratory finding. With early diagnosis and treatment the patient survived the
Background and objectives: High intensity focused ultrasound is an emerging non-invasive technique for the thermal ablation of cancer. Modeling of high intensity focused ultrasound as a method to induce hyperthermia, by considering
We describe a 50-year-old woman with a history of thyroid cancer who presented with bilateral cervical and submandibular lymphadenopathy, low-grade fevers, and increasing fatigue. The patient underwent lymph node fine-needle aspiration, which showed no evidence of metastatic or lymphoproliferative
Background: We hypothesize that the intraoperative, prophylactic application of Pseudomonas aeruginosa can decrease postoperative chylous fistula and enhance recovery after surgery in patients with thyroid cancer undergoing lateral neck lymph node
BACKGROUND
The combination of doxorubicin and interferon alpha is supported by preclinical data. We sought to evaluate the efficacy of this combination in patients with advanced thyroid cancer.
METHODS
Patients with locally recurrent or metastatic, radioiodine- refractory thyroid cancer, excluding
Adult onset Still's disease (AOSD) is an inflammatory disease of unknown etiology, characterized by spiking fever, evanescent salmon pink maculopapular rash, arthritis, and leukocytosis with neutrophilia. Malignant lymphoma is one of the most important differential diagnoses of AOSD. AOSD has been
