Thyroid carcinoma in multinodular goiter
Background: It is suggested that hyperthyroidism protects against thyroid malignancy. It was suggested that the incidence of malignancy is lower in toxic multinodular goiters than in non-toxic multinodular goiters. Recent studies show controversies. Material and methods: The aim of this study is to determine the incidence and type of thyroid carcinoma in toxic and nontoxic multinodular goiter i...
متن کاملShould the Prevalence of Incidental Thyroid Cancer Determine the Extent of Surgery in Multinodular Goiter?
BACKGROUND The most appropriate surgical procedure for multinodular goiter (MNG) remains under debate. Incidental thyroid carcinoma (ITC) is often identified on histopathological examination after thyroidectomy performed for presumed benign MNG. AIM OF THE STUDY The aim of the study was to determine the value of radical surgery for MNG patients considering the prevalence of ITC diagnosed post...
متن کاملThe incidence of thyroid carcinoma in multinodular goiter: retrospective analysis.
Thyroid carcinoma (TC) is a relatively rare tumour, but it represents the most frequent form of cancer of the endocrine glands. Epidemiologically ascertained risk factors are ionising radiation, the presence of thyroid adenoma and multinodular goiter (MNG). Multinodularity of goiter should no longer be considered an indicator of probable benign disease. A retrospective analysis was performed on...
متن کامل[Incidental differentiated thyroid carcinoma is less prevalent in Graves' disease than in multinodular goiter].
OBJECTIVE Risk factors for differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) are poorly understood, but serum TSH levels, thyroid nodularity, and presence of autoimmunity are well-recognized factors that modulate DTC prevalence. TSH stimulates proliferation of both normal and neoplastic follicular cells. Consequently, thyroid-stimulating immunoglobulins (TSI), because of its TSH-like action, should induce...
متن کاملIncidental Papillary Thyroid Microcarcinoma in an Endemic Goiter Area
Clinical and pathological characteristics of incidental papillary thyroid microcancer cases, surgical, medical, and nuclear treatment methods, and patients' outcome were studied during follow-up period of 102 months. We studied 37 patients with incidental papillary thyroid microcancer (I-PTM). The surgical procedure was total thyroidectomy in 29 and hemithyroidectomy in 8 patients. Size, multif...
