Thyroid microcarcinoma during thyroidectomy.
INTRODUCTION We aimed to retrospectively assess the prevalence of microcarcinoma in thyroidectomy specimens from a Greek population and the role of histopathology in determining management of these patients. METHODS We used histopathological reports of thyroidectomies performed in a Greek general district hospital. The samples consisted of 191 thyroidectomies performed between January 1997 an...

متن کاملGenetic and Epigenetic of Medullary Thyroid Cancer
Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is an infrequent calcitonin-producing neuroendocrine tumor that initiates from the parafollicular C cells of the thyroid gland. Several genetic and epigenetic alterations are collaterally responsible for medullary thyroid carcinogenesis. In this review article, we shed light on all the genetic and epigenetic hallmarks of MTC. From the genetic perspective, RET, ...
متن کاملUltrasonic features of papillary thyroid microcarcinoma and non-microcarcinoma
The present study analyzed the ultrasonic features of papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) and papillary thyroid non-microcarcinoma (non-PTMC) with the aim of improving the diagnostic value of ultrasonography. The ultrasonic features of 328 patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), as confirmed by pathology, were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were diagnosed with PTMC if the tumor...
متن کاملMedullary Thyroid Cancer: A Review
Thyroid cancer is a malignancy of the thyroid parenchymal cells. There are four main types of thyroid cancer: papillary thyroid cancer (PTC), follicular thyroid cancer (FTC), anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC), and Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC). Medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) is a rare neuroendocrine tumor of the thyroid gland derived from parafollicular C-cells that produce calcitonin (CT...
