The recurrence of thyroid cancer is traditionally predicted using clinical tools. A more detailed way to predict recurrence is currently being researched.
Fine needle biopsy is the standard diagnostic test for indeterminate thyroid nodules, but increases medical costs and causes anxiety in patients. Researchers explored whether targeted use of Thyroid Imaging, Reporting, and Data System (TI-RADS) could provide faster and less-invasive diagnoses.
A connection between follicular thyroid cancer postthyroidectomy and cardiovascular disease is unknown. Researchers studied the records of almost 350 people to find out more.
Investigators studied the bones of adults who had thyroid cancer as children to find out if treatment for the disease carried consequences into adulthood.
While calcitonin is considered standard of care for the diagnosis and follow-up of medullary thyroid cancer, researchers may have found a potentially more reliable marker.
Investigators assessed the relationship between intraoperative measurements obtained via laser speckle contrast imaging and outcomes following total thyroidectomy.
