Poorly Differentiated Thyroid Carcinoma: An Incubating Entity
as the fifth most expected malignancy in American women. Although thyroid cancer is not infrequently diagnosed, it rarely bests its host. We understand a great deal about well-differentiated thyroid cancers, including carcinomas of the thyrocyte and parafollicular c-cells. We have identified a number of mutations and gene rearrangements responsible for familial and sporadic tumors. We have post...
متن کاملOutcomes of patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma following initial therapy.
This analysis was performed to determine the effect of initial therapy on the outcomes of thyroid cancer patients. The study setting was a prospectively followed multi-institutional registry. Patients were stratified as low risk (stages I and II) or high risk (stages III and IV). Treatments employed included near-total thyroidectomy, administration of radioactive iodine, and thyroid hormone sup...
متن کاملPoorly Differentiated Thyroid Carcinoma Arising in Struma Ovarii
Struma ovarii is an uncommon type of ovarian mature teratoma with a predominant thyroid component. The morphological spectrum of the thyroid tissue ranges from that of normal thyroid to proliferative adenoma-like lesions and thyroid-type carcinomas (malignant transformation). The histologic features of ovarian strumal lesions sometimes cause diagnostic problems due to the confusion with other t...
متن کاملComprehensive Literature Review: Recent Advances in Diagnosing and Managing Patients with Poorly Differentiated Thyroid Carcinoma
Poorly differentiated thyroid carcinomas are a rare form of thyroid carcinomas; they display an intermediate behavior between well-differentiated and anaplastic thyroid carcinomas. PDTCs are more aggressive than the well-differentiated, but less aggressive than the undifferentiated or anaplastic, forms. No clinical features can accurately diagnose poorly differentiated thyroid carcinomas. Thus,...
متن کاملPoorly differentiated thyroid carcinoma. Are we there yet?
The article reviews the controversial area of poorly differentiated thyroid carcinoma. Consensus criteria that define poorly differentiated thyroid carcinoma have been published in 2007. According to these, poorly differentiated thyroid carcinoma is a distinct histotype and the term "poorly differentiated" should not be used as a synonym for high-grade thyroid cancer. Data in the literature sho...
