Prospective Validation of ATA Risk Score for Papillary Thyroid Microcarcinoma: An ITCO Real-World Study Open
Context The risk of recurrence of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) smaller than 1 cm (microPTC) is low. Predictors of disease persistence in microPTC are still unclear. Objective To compare the clinical and pathological characteristics of…

Radiofrequency ablation is an effective treatment for Bethesda III thyroid nodules without genetic alterations Open
Background Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is effective in the treatment of thyroid nodules, leading to a 50–90% reduction with respect to baseline. Current guidelines indicate the need for a benign cytology prior to RFA, though, on the othe…

Clinical Outcomes of Thermal Ablation Re-Treatment of Benign Thyroid Nodules: A Multicenter Study from the Italian Minimally Invasive Treatments of the Thyroid Group Open
Background: Thermal ablation (TA) is an established therapeutic option alternative to surgery in patients with solid benign thyroid nodules causing local symptoms. However, a variable part of thyroid nodules remain viable aft…

A Prospective Multicenter Study Examining the Relationship Between Thyroid Cancer Treatment Outcomes and the Presence of Autoimmune Thyroiditis Open
Background: There is some controversy on the potential relationship between autoimmune processes and clinicopathologic features as well as prognosis of differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC), and the evidence is limited by its l…

Recurrence and mortality rate in an Italian multi-center case series of parathyroid atypical adenomas and carcinomas Open
Introduction There are few data regarding the clinical outcome of patients with parathyroid carcinoma (PC) and atypical adenoma (AA) after surgery. Aim of our study was to investigate disease recurrence and mortality rate as well as their …

Preoperative neck ultrasound combined with pathological data can significantly impact the outcome of medullary thyroid carcinoma Open
The diagnosis of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is challenging since the accuracy of ultrasound (US) and fine-needle aspiration cytology are suboptimal. As a result, MTC has a generally poor prognosis. The aim of this study was to analy…

Management of Progressive Radioiodine-Refractory Thyroid Carcinoma: Current Perspective Open
Patients with thyroid cancer (TC) usually have an excellent prognosis; however, 5-10% of them develop an advanced disease. The prognosis of this subgroup is still favourable if the lesions respond to radioactive iodine (RAI) treatment. Nea…

Radiofrequency Thermal Ablation for a Small Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma in a Patient Unfit for Surgery: A Case Report Open
Ultrasound-guided radiofrequency thermal ablation has been proposed as an effective and safe procedure for treating patients who have low-risk papillary thyroid microcarcinomas and/or are unfit for surgery. We present the case of a 72-year…

Bone metastases from differentiated thyroid carcinoma: current knowledge and open issues Open
Bone represents the second most common site of distant metastases in differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC). The clinical course of DTC patients with bone metastases (BM) is quite heterogeneous, but generally associated with low survival rate…

KRIT1 Loss-Of-Function Associated with Cerebral Cavernous Malformation Disease Leads to Enhanced S-Glutathionylation of Distinct Structural and Regulatory Proteins Open
Loss-of-function mutations in the KRIT1 gene are associated with the pathogenesis of cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs), a major cerebrovascular disease still awaiting therapies. Accumulating evidence demonstrates that KRIT1 plays an …
