Two to 11% of women diagnosed with breast cancer will develop contralateral breast cancer in their lifetime. Women with a first primary are at a 2-6-fold increased risk of developing contralateral breast cancer compared with the risk in the general population of women developing a first primary cancer. The incidence rate of contralateral breast cancer varies from four to eight per 1000 person-y...

BACKGROUND Non-coding circular RNAs (circRNAs) have displayed dysregulated expression in several human cancers. Here, we profiled the circRNA expression of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) tumors to improve our understanding of PTC pathogenesis. METHODS Microarray profiling was performed on 18 thyroid samples, consisting of six PTC tumors, six matching contralateral normal samples, and six b...

Patients with clinically evident medullary thyroid cancer should have a total extracapsular thyroidectomy with bilateral central neck dissection and an ipsilateral prophylactic or therapeutic modified (functional) radical neck dissection when the primary tumor is greater than 1 cm and when the central neck nodes are positive. A prophylactic contralateral neck dissection should be done when the ...

The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines recommend completion thyroidectomy for patients with multifocal papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) diagnosed by paraffin pathology after lobectomy. However, studies for the influence of surgical range on prognosis of unilateral multifocal carcinoma are scarce. We analyzed the clinicopathological characteristics and long-term outcomes of...

We studied the differentiation of thyroid nodules using fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNA) and Tl-201 scintigraphy quantitative analysis. One-hundred and thirty-one thyroid nodules were examined: 83 follicular lesions (58 benign and 25 malignant lesions) and 48 non-follicular lesions (8 benign and 40 malignant lesions). During Tl-201 scintigraphy examinations, an early and a delayed image were...

The multidisciplinary team dealing with patients with thyroid nodules must include a pathologist. The aim is to make the correct diagnosis as soon as possible after presentation, to prevent surgery where it is not required, and to allow treatment to be planned when malignancy is diagnosed. The first investigation should now be fine-needle aspiration (FNA) cytology. With adequate specimens, the ...
