First-in-Human Clinical Feasibility Study of Ablation of Benign Thyroid Nodules Using Nanosecond Pulsed Field Ablation Open
Background: Thyroid nodules are common in the general population, and most are benign. Thyroidectomy remains the most common treatment for symptomatic benign thyroid nodular disease. The objective of this study is to determine if a novel, …

Evaluation of LMR, NLR and PLR as predictors of malignancy in indeterminate thyroid nodules Open
This study showed that only LMR has shown a concrete probability to find a thyroid cancer in patients with indeterminate nodules. Further studies are necessary to implement tailored treatment.

Laser Ablation Treatment of Recurrent Lymph Node Metastases from Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma Open
(1) Background: The incidence of papillary thyroid cancers is increasing. Papillary neoplasm metastasizes to the central and lateral lymph nodes of the neck. The recurrence rate is less than 30%. The gold standard of treatment for lymph no…

Medullary thyroid carcinoma with double negative calcitonin and CEA: a case report and update of literature review Open
Background Medullary thyroid carcinoma is a malignant uncommon and aggressive tumour of the parafollicular C cells. In about 75% of cases it is sporadic while, in case of RET mutation, it is associated to multiple endocrine neoplasia type …

Calcitonin negative Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma: a challenging diagnosis or a medical dilemma? Open
Calcitonin negative medullary thyroid carcinoma is an extremely rare pathology. The diagnosis and the surveillance is often challenging and delayed, due to the lack of elevation of serum markers as calcitonin and carcinoembryionic antigen.…
