Article Abstract
Objective: To analyze the importance of preoperative cytology of thyroid nodules and its relationship with mortality risk, recurrence risk, dynamic stratification, and aggressive characteristics (vascular invasion, aggressive histology, incomplete tumor resection, extrathyroidal extension of the tumor, and presence of lymph node and distant metastases).
Subjects And Methods: Retrospective evaluation of 153 patients diagnosed with differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) and following up at the Hospital Universitário Presidente Dutra between January 1999 and December 2016.
Results: In all, 96% of the patients were female, 79.7% had papillary carcinoma and the most common fine-needle aspiration (FNA) result was Bethesda II (29.4%). The mean age was 43.11 ± 12.8 years. Overall, 85% of the patients progressed without any evidence of disease. There was a statistically significant relationship between the presurgical FNA and the presence of extrathyroidal extension, vascular invasion, and lymph node metastasis.
Conclusions: The preoperative cytology of the nodule may have an impact on the follow-up of patients with DTC. Future studies in a larger population are required to confirm this finding.

Efficacy and safety of anlotinib combined with I seed implantation for iodine-refractory thyroid cancer.

Department of Nuclear Medicine, Jiangxi Cancer Hospital, Nanchang, Jiangxi, China.
Background And Objective: Radioiodine-refractory differentiated thyroid cancer (RAIR-DTC) remains challenging to treat due to a lack of effective therapies. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of combining anlotinib with iodine-125 (I) seed implantation in patients with RAIR-DTC.
Methods And Materials: We retrospectively compared three treatment groups in 52 patients with advanced RAIR-DTC: anlotinib monotherapy (Group A, = 14), I seed brachytherapy monotherapy (Group B, = 25), and combined therapy (Group C, = 13).
Lobectomy or total thyroidectomy in pediatric differentiated thyroid cancer? A systematic review and meta-analysis.

First Department of Pediatric Surgery, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, General Hospital "G. Gennimatas", Thessaloniki, Greece.
Background: Thyroid cancer in pediatric patients is distinct from adult-onset thyroid cancer due to differences in disease presentation, management and outcomes. This meta-analysis delves into contemporary data on managing pediatric differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC), assessing outcomes, such as recurrence and mortality, in children with radical total thyroidectomy versus the more conservative lobectomy approach.
Methods: MEDLINE (via PubMed), Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), trial registry websites (ClinicalTrials.

The Choroidal Vascularity Index (CVI), derived from optical coherence tomography (OCT), has emerged as a potential biomarker for detecting vascular changes. Understanding its variability across physiological states, ocular conditions, and systemic diseases is crucial for its integration into clinical practice. We evaluated variations in CVI across different physiological states (e.

Background: Assessing skills in simulated settings is resource-intensive and lacks validated metrics. Advances in AI offer the potential for automated competence assessment, addressing these limitations. This study aimed to develop and validate a machine learning AI model for automated evaluation during simulation-based thyroid ultrasound (US) training.

Background: Bone metastasis (BM) in breast cancer affects patient prognosis, but its molecular mechanisms and relationship with the gut microbiome are not well understood. This study aims to explore gene expression and gut microbiome differences between BM and non-bone metastasis (BNM) patients, which could shed light on cancer progression and metastasis.
Methods: We utilized a multi-omics approach, integrating transcriptomic and microbiomic data.
