Article Abstract

Purpose: The increase in thyroid cancer incidence has inevitably led to an increase in thyroid cancer surgeries. This meta-regression analysis aimed to determine if the rate of post-thyroidectomy complications changes by year.

Materials And Methods: PubMed and Embase databases were used to perform a systematic literature search of studies published from January 1, 2005, using the keywords "thyroidectomy" and "complication." A meta-regression was performed for post-thyroidectomy hypocalcemia and bleeding.

Results: This meta-analysis included 25 studies involving 927751 individuals. Through the years of publications in this study, there was no significant difference in the proportion of post-thyroidectomy hypocalcemia and bleeding (=0.9978, 0.6393).

Conclusion: Although the number of thyroid surgeries has recently increased, the incidence of post-thyroidectomy hypocalcemia and bleeding did not significantly increase.

This research aimed to investigate the preoperative risk factors for lymph node metastasis (LNM) in medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) using clinical, pathological, serological, ultrasound, and radiomics characteristics. Additionally, it aimed to explore the diagnostic precision of ultrasound (US) for MTC and LNM. A retrospective analysis of 111 nodules was eligible from 104 patients from January 1, 2000, to December 28, 2024.

Thyroid hormones (THs) are essential regulators of metabolism, homeostasis, and development in metazoans. The canonical genomic pathway involves THs binding to nuclear thyroid hormone receptors (NTHRs), which modulate gene expression in vertebrates. In contrast, non-genomic pathways involve THs interacting with membrane-bound or cytoplasmic receptors.

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).

Background: The most common endocrine cancer, thyroid carcinoma (TC), has a dismal prognosis when it reaches an advanced stage. Integrin α-2 () has been implicated in cancer progression, influencing both DNA damage and repair mechanisms. However, it is unknown how ITGA2 influences these processes in TC.
