Comparison between total thyroidectomy and medical therapy for amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis.
CONTEXT It is not known whether total thyroidectomy is more favourable than medical therapy for patients with amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis (AIT). OBJECTIVE To compare total thyroidectomy with medical therapy on survival and cardiac function in AIT

ABSTRACT Background Differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) is typically managed surgically with favourable outcomes. However, surgery may have dire consequences when the tumour invades critical structures. Neoadjuvant therapy with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) has emerged as a potential strategy to improve resectability and reduce morbidity in ...

RETROSPECTIVE ANALYSIS OF DYSHORMONGENETIC GOITRE [PDF]
Dyshormonogenetic goitre is a rare thyroid entity which occurs due to enzymatic deficiency in the physiological process of thyroxin synthesis resulting in goitre formation. This has to be differentiated from iodine deficiency goitres for their similarity

A decrease of calcitonin serum concentrations less than 50 percent 30 minutes after thyroid surgery suggests incomplete C-cell tumor tissue removal [PDF]
The prognosis of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) depends on the completeness of the first surgical treatment. To date, it is not possible to predict whether the tumor has been completely removed after surgery.

ABSTRACT Introduction Over 10 million thyroid function tests (TFTs) are carried out in England each year, most requests coming from primary care. Our previous work showed that only 25% of results for patients being treated with Levothyroxine fell within the TSH/FT4 boundary circumscribing 75% of untreated individuals.

Whole‐exome sequencing of five families with non‐medullary thyroid cancer revealed three candidate genes. Functional analyses confirmed BCL2L11 as a strong candidate gene for hereditary predisposition to non‐medullary thyroid cancer. ABSTRACT Familial non‐medullary thyroid cancer, defined as two or more affected first‐degree relatives, accounts for 3 ...

Recent advances in managing differentiated thyroid cancer [PDF]
The main clinical challenge in the management of thyroid cancer is to avoid over-treatment and over-diagnosis in patients with lower-risk disease while promptly identifying those patients with more advanced or high-risk disease requiring aggressive ...

Risk of needing completion thyroidectomy for low‐risk papillary thyroid cancers treated by lobectomy
Low‐risk differentiated thyroid cancers may, according to the American Thyroid Association (ATA) 2015 guidelines, be managed initially with lobectomy. However, definitive risk categorization requires pathological assessment of the specimen, resulting in ...
