Microgravity in space impacts human health. In particular, thyroid cancer, which has a high incidence rate, has been the subject of numerous studies with respect to microgravity. However, most studies have focused on Western follicular thyroid cancer cell lines, while data regarding the effects of microgravity on Asian cell lines are lacking. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the effect of simulated ground-based microgravity on two Korean thyroid cancer cell lines, namely SNU-790 and SNU-80. We found that both cell lines formed multicellular spheroids under simulated microgravity. Gene expression analysis revealed that in SNU-790 cells, histone-related genes were upregulated and microRNA-related genes were downregulated. Meanwhile, in SNU-80 cells, genes related to the cellular response to hypoxia were downregulated. These findings contribute to a better understanding of the effects of microgravity on thyroid cancer cells. Further validation studies and clinical significance analyses are needed to fully understand the implications of these findings.

Purpose Of Review: To review the current medical evidence in the diagnosis and management of thyroid nodules.
Recent Findings: The widespread use of imaging modalities in recent years has led to frequent discovery of incidental thyroid nodules. These nodules are mostly benign (over 90%), hence precise insight in evaluating nodules of concern and following up other nodules is important to avoid unnecessary surgeries and its complications.

Objectives: Increasing detection of low-risk papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is associated with overdiagnosis and overtreatment. N6-methyladenosine (mA)-mediated microRNA (miRNA) dysregulation plays a critical role in tumor metastasis and progression. However, the functional role of mA-miRNAs in PTC remains unclear.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of US-guided thermal ablation (TA) for solitary papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) in elderly patients.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective study included 91 elderly patients with solitary PTC who were treated with TA. The primary outcome was disease progression.

Background: Improved cancer survival rates have highlighted second primary malignancies (SPMs), with the thyroid gland being one of the most common organs developing SPMs in cancer survivors. Second primary papillary thyroid carcinoma (2-PTC) is the predominant type, yet it remains poorly understood. This study aims to delineate the clinicopathological features and survival outcomes of 2-PTC and assess the efficacy of postoperative radioactive iodine therapy (post-RAIT) in reducing mortality risks in intermediate-risk 2-PTC patients.

Hepatocellular carcinoma is one of the leading causes of cancer-related death worldwide. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) have improved progression and overall survival in patients progressing on sorafenib therapy. But activation of the immune system can lead to numerous immune-related adverse events.
