A good prognosis can be expected for most, but not all, cases of thyroid papillary cancer. Numerous molecular studies have demonstrated beneficial treatment and prognostic factors in various molecular markers. Whereas most previous reports have focused on genomics and proteomics, few have focused on lipidomics. With the advent of mass spectrometry (MS), it has become possible to identify many t...

objective: resistance of metastatic lymph nodes (lns) to high dose i-131 therapy is associated with high morbidity in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer. we evaluated the role of f-18 fdg pet/ct in the prediction of resistance to high dose i-131 therapy in patients with papillary thyroid cancer. methods: the subjects were 307 patients who underwent total or near total thyroidectomy fol...

BACKGROUND Carcinoma of the thyroid gland is one of the most commonly encountered endocrine malignancies. Papillary carcinoma is the most common histological type, and its spread is usually lymphatic. About 30-80% patients with papillary carcinoma develop lymphatic metastases. CASE REPORT We present here the case of a 70-year-old female patient who had undergone total thyroidectomy 10 years p...

ulcerative colitis is associated with several malignancies. here we report one such association, a rare one, with papillary thyroid carcinoma, and discuss the possible risk factors of such an association.

BACKGROUND There is subjective disagreement regarding nuclear clearing in papillary thyroid carcinoma. In this study, using digital instruments, we were able to quantify many ambiguous pathologic features and use numeric data to express our findings. METHODS We examined 30 papillary thyroid carcinomas. For each case, we selected representative cancer cells showing clear nuclei and surrounding...

background : the incidence of thyroid cancer has varied from 2 per 100,000 in europe to 21 per 100,000 in the hawaiian chinese population and is 2-3 fold more common in females. middle east cancer consortium figures from 1996-2001 have recorded different age standardized incidence rates that ranged from 2 per 100,000 in egypt to 7.5 per 100,000 among israeli jews. in jordan the age standardized...

A 75-year-old woman who underwent a total thyroidectomy for papillary thyroid cancer 7 years previously presented with a palpable neck mass. Computed tomography (CT) showed two metastatic masses on the thyroid bed and another mass that looked benign originating from the esophageal wall. Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) showed a hypoechoic mass in the esophageal wall that looked similar to a gas...

Papillary thyroid cancer is the most prevalent histologic type of carcinoma. There are numerous PTC subtypes that have been identified, with classical being prevalent. The follicular variant (FVPTC) second subtype papillary A case encapsulated carcinoma was studied which showed a well tumour cells arranged predominantly in architecture and few areas showing solid architecture. no capsular invas...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Concentric lamellar calcifications known as psammoma bodies (PB) are found in benign and malignant tumours. Whether or not the inorganic element concentrations in psammomas are similar to serous adenocarcinoma of the ovary and thyroid papillary cancer tissues has not yet been ascertained. We undertook this retrospective study to establish if there is any difference in th...

Several variants in the TSHR and RET signaling pathways genes have been reported to be related to cancer risk. We hypothesized that polymorphic variants in these genes are associated with the risk of papillary thyroid cancer. A nested case-control study was conducted within the U.S. Radiologic Technologists cohort. Eligible validated papillary thyroid cancer cases (n = 167) and frequency-matche...
